[Verse]
I've seen the only livin' traces flicker in the sulfur
And the ones who do believe me, place your favor

Let me be your tourniquet man
Let me keep you as a favor
Let me be your tourniquet man
Let me keep you as a favor

I can't diminish anymore if I choose to dissolve in you
There's so much we can lose
I can't diminish anymore if I choose to dissolve in you
There's so much we can lose
