[Chorus]
Give me a tourniquet
Metaphor burnin' bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burnin' shit
Give me a tourniquet
Metaphor burnin' bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burnin' shit
[Refrain]
Break, break, break my bones
Shattered my hopes and my dreams
I tatted a four leaf clover
Escape, escape, I wish I had somewhere to go
I find shelter in hope I walk with the ghosts
Like they're stitched to my clothes
[Bridge]
I keep closing doors, so self-assured
I think we should talk, I'm becoming borеd of everyone
Nothing's as thеy said it was
[Chorus]
Give me a tourniquet
Metaphor burnin' bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burnin' shit
Give me a tourniquet
Metaphor burnin' bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burnin' shit
[Refrain]
Break, break, break my bones
Shattered my hopes and my dreams
I tatted a four leaf clover
Escape, escape, wish I had somewhere to go
I find shelter in hope I walk with the ghosts
Like they're stitched to my clothes
[Bridge]
I keep closing doors, so self-assured
I think we should talk, I'm becoming bored of everyone
Nothing's as they said it was
(You can have anything you want
Your hopes, your dreams
You can have anything you want, anything you want
You can have everything
The world is your oyster
The world is your oyster)
[Outro]
Memories we trickle through
Belong in an institute
Use substitution
My mind is polluted, polluted
My jokes are not funny, my jokes are not-
My jokes are not funny
I play the wound, you play the salt
I play the wound, you play the salt
You ever tried swimmin' with your hands tied?
I'm congested, lost in myself, with my senses diluted my-
My inhibitions are lost, I feel confused
You take everything I had to give
I gave you more than I had to give
What's left? (Nothing), What's left? (Nothing)
You can have everything, you can take everything
I give you everything I've got 'til the last fucking bone I have (Aah)
Take it all, take it all, take it and leave, take it and leave, take it and leave, please
(You can have everythin')

This is about cutting pieces of yourself away in order to grow, similar to ‘Dead Leaves’ on Nothing Great About Britain.
