“‘Strain’ is about some personal failed relationships,” Hartkop explains. “It’s a song about the feeling of when you’re laying alone in a room, you turn the lights off and you’re laying in the dark, just staring up at the ceiling. You’re thinking about your breakup and what went wrong, how you could...
[Pre-Chorus]
Fickle father, foolish son
We pray for pain, we pray for blood
I hope I die, I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky
I hope your body heals itself
I hope that God forgives himself
I hope I die, I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky
[Chorus]
They say that I will live, will die
They say as well, I'll burn in hell
So get your jacket
Exactly where you left it
Dear, I know you think it's clear
I am the problem, everybody saw in there, alone
Eating alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Fickle father, foolish son
We pray for pain, we pray for blood
I hope I die, I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky
I hope your body heals itself
I hope that God forgives himself
I hope I die, I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky
[Chorus]
They say that I will live, will die
They say as well, I'll burn in hell
So get your jacket
Exactly where you left it
Dear, I know you think it's clear
I am the problem, everybody saw in there, alone
Eating alone
Whoa-ooh oh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh oh, whoa-ooh (x7)

"I hear you're seeking an attorney and, go through the legal system to do what you need to do, and, and get out of this forever, to solve our problems. You got that?"
