Tourniquet Video (MV)

Tie a tourniquet around my neck to cut the flow
Hold it tight until you're positive you see me go
I'm truly breathless baby, i ain't breathing slow
I'm heading down a path that you will never know

Never know the depths of the inside of a mind
Poorly labeled valentine, on the dotted line
Built with skills of flawed design
Keep him screaming silence like a burning pantomime

Believe in nothing, he scratched into his skin
But he was diggin deeper, for something trapped within
Down the rabbit hole, but he know's it's a monster's den
Magic ain't gonna save him, he ain't Aladdin

He cursed the heavens, for all its broken hymns
But, still he prayed for help when his hope was slim
He learned that love was just a game that he would never win
The only heart he'd held was with a phantom limb

And even though he felt that muscle beatin strong,
He knew that it was beating to a different song
And that's when he said "I don't belong"... "I don't belong"

He felt his motor stalling, falling to a slow crawl
But, he didn't want to hear a murmur from it at all
I'm talkin 'bout a sure thing, not a close call
Like a nigga in a 'rari smashed into a stone wall

Cuz a life that's lived in misery
Is something he wants to leave behind in history
Just a page that's been torn from the book
He was just a fish in the sea caught on the hook

Said my name and you pulled me in
Thought I found myself a home again
Til you disappeared
And left me cold within

Tired of the way you always seem to make me feel
Another high you sell me but it isn't even real
The blood is rushing back, I feel it in my veins
Release the tourniquet I used to numb the endless
One pulse
Two breaths
Three pumps
I scream
You yell
I jump
To conclusions
Confusion you're using
The weapon, abusive
Too many contusions

I only wanted something
That I never felt inside
And for the shortest time
I think I felt alive
I learned the smallest things
Are the ones to cause us pain
Because of you I'll always
Spurn my name

I only wanted something
That I never felt inside
And for the shortest time
I think I felt alive
I learned the smallest things
Are the ones to cause us pain
Because of you I'll always
Spurn my name.

I only wanted something
That I never felt inside
And for the shortest time
I think I felt alive
I learned the smallest things
Are the ones to cause us pain
Because of you I'll always
Spurn my name

I only wanted something
That I never felt inside
And for the shortest time
I think I felt alive
I learned the smallest things
Are the ones to cause us pain
Because of you I'll always
Spurn my name

I'll always spurn my name

I believed we'd never be apart
You made your mark, you made your mark
Now you're silent and you stole the spark
You made it dark, you made it dark
