Tourniquet
life come undone
mortal coil sprung, lifted you drifted
welcoming sun,some days I feel brave
riding the air waves, locked in this room
give me some room
scratching the pavement
grazed knees and broken nails
some small token of how life goes by
I'd love to see you try
I won't steal your pain - just tighten the tourniquet
you're losing the feeling
I'm counting the hours, the beauty in dead flowers
heart that keeps you warm
the things you don't think about
like why we feel so old, eyes like pissholes in the snow
wanting to leave - all your life you stayed in tune
singing songs for the doomed
it's always lonely being free, never what you wanted to be
