Lyrics
Tourniquete Man
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've seen the only living traces
Flicker in the sulfur
And the ones who do believe me
Place your favor
Before you lay your question down
There's a matter of the payment
To you, I slipped on crooked sores
In conclaves that you bothered
Chorus (2x):
Let me be your tourniquet man
Let me keep you as a favor
When I hear your fingers
They will spell my name
As I trade
The faces of the holders
(Chorus)
(3x):
I can't diminish anymore
If I choose to dissolve in you
There's so much we can lose
