Tourniquet Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm made of hair and bone and little teeth
I think I cannot speak
I come on like a crippled plaything
My spine is just a string
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
[Verse 3]
Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts baby please don't cry
Preserve my innocence
I never wanted it to end this way
But flies will lay their eggs
[Chorus]
Take your hatred out on me
Make me your victim in bed
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
[Bridge]
What I wanted, what I needed
I tried to get for me
Nothing wanted, nothing needed
No one comes for free
[Chorus]
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
[Outro]
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
