tourniquet lyrics

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth

Things that cannot speak

She comes on like a crippled plaything

Spine is just a string

I wrapped our love in all this foil

Silver-tight like spider legs

I never wanted it to ever spoil

But flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me

Make your victim my head

You never ever believed in me

I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly

Sealed up with virgin stitch

If it hurts, baby, please tell me

Preserve the innocence

I never wanted it to end like this

But flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me

Make your victim my head

You never ever believed in me

I am your tourniquet

What I wanted, what I needed, what I got for me [2x]

Take your hatred out on me

Make your victim my head

You never ever believed in me

I am your tourniquet

Take your, take your

Get up out of me

I'm not proud with me

I never ever believed in me

I am your tourniquet
