Flagellation

Decoding every word you say
When you hurt yourself
There has to be a better way
For you to hate yourself

'Cause you don't understand
What I'm trying to say to you
You don't understand
I am here to help you

Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain of a modern nation
Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain, take the violation

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

I punish you for every kiss
Look what you stole from me
Blessing you for all your sins
Hey, you can never win

If you don't understand
What I'm trying to say to you
You don't understand
Anything at all

Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain of a modern nation
Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain, take the violation

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Right here, only pain's
Gonna set you free
Right now, you mean
Nothing to me

Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain of a modern nation
Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain, take the violation

Flagellation, flagellation
Come clean through the flagellation
Flagellation, flagellation
Take the pain, take the violation, yeah
