Tourniquet

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth
And things that 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 and 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
Get up out of me
I'm not proud with me
I never ever believed in me.
