Tourniquet - Evanescence

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth And things that I cannot speak She comes on like a crippled plaything Her 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 always 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 What I wanted, what I needed What I got for me 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 Hatred out on me I'm not proud with me I never ever believed in me I am your tourniquet

There's delays on the planes out of Eastern Montana Where you told me you were leavin' from You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body Won't you tell me where you're bleedin' from? If you need a tourniquet or if you wanna turn and quit Know that I'll be by your side You bled your whole soul into things you can't control In a world you'll never satisfy I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days too Take care of the blood that your love runs through I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does You were laughin' last week at somethin' I dreamed of When you finally feel the blood you spill into everybody else I'll tourniquet your toes to the ground Pull you in and hold you tight, love you through the heart of night Spring your kind ass into town You've been playin' your guitar from arenas to the bars Since you were old enough to rhyme a word But your face is gettin' thinner and you're prayin' for the winter And I heard you fucked it up with her I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days too Take care of the blood that your love runs through I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does You were laughin' last evenin' at somethin' I dreamed of I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days too Take care of the blood that your love runs through I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does She were laughin' last evenin' at somethin' I dreamed of There's delays on the planes out of Eastern Montana Where you told me you were leavin' from You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body Won't you tell me where you're bleedin' from

Give me a tourniquet Metaphor Burning bridges I cannot learn from it I keep on burning shit Give me a tourniquet Metaphor Burning bridges I cannot learn from it I keep on burning shit Break break break My bones Shattered my hopes and dreams I tatted a 4 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 I keep closing doors So self-assured I think we should talk I'm becoming bored of everyone Nothings as they said it was Give me a tourniquet Metaphor Burning bridges I cannot learn from it I keep on burning shit Give me a tourniquet Metaphor Burning bridges I cannot learn from it I keep on burning shit Break break break My bones Shattered my hopes and dreams I tatted a 4 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 I keep closing doors So self-assured I think we should talk I'm becoming bored of everyone Nothings as they said it was Memories We trickle through Belong in an institute Use substitution My mind is polluted Diluted My jokes are not funny My jokes are not funny I'll play the wound You play the salt I'll play the wound You play the salt You ever tried swimming With you hands tied I'm congested Lost in myself And my senses Dilute my My inhibitions are lost I feel confused You take everything I had to give I gave you more that 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 Until the last fucking bone I have
