Lyrics
Tourniquet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm made of hair and bone and little teeth
And think I cannot speak
I come on like a crippled plaything
My 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 there eggs.
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquette
Prosthetic synthesis and butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch.
If it hurts baby please don't cry
Preserve my innocence
I never wanted it end this way
But flies will lay there eggs
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquette
What I wanted
What I needed
I tried to get for me
Nothing wanted
Nothing needed
No one comes for free
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquette
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
This song was originally performed by Marilyn Manson
