White Light Riot - Tourniquet lyrics

rate me

Leading my arrest, a protocol to test and fade away

My fervent bitterness, failing to address and save today

But the ocean was never blue, it's the sky being mirrored for you

Ain't it funny how things never turn out like they're supposed to

I'm scraping the asphalt and what's to show for it?

Cut off the blood flow dressed with a tourniquet

Never heeded a warning, imploding

Scattered, pale and tense, delicate defense-retract it

Head is elastic, stretching 'til my patience cracks

But the ocean was never blue, it's the sky being mirrored for you

Ain't it funny how things never turn out like they're supposed to

I'm scraping the asphalt and what's to show for it?

Cut off the blood flow dressed with a tourniquet

Rescue the blessed and all the fortunate

While I'm left at the corner and dressed with a tourniquet

If we loosen the ties, it might take our lives

And fuel the chagrin

But we can't be afraid to start over again

And run, just run

I'm scraping the asphalt and what's to show for it?

Cut my blood flow dressed with a tourniquet

Rescue the blessed and all the fortunate

While I'm left at the corner, never heeded warning

Left at the corner dressed with a tourniquet
