Tourniquet Lyrics

[00:40.20] I tried to kill the pain
[00:44.26] But only brought more (so much more)
[00:49.57] I lay dying
[00:51.61] And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
[00:59.08] I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
[01:08.15] Am I too lost to be saved?
[01:12.81] Am I too lost?
[01:17.43] My God, my Tourniquet
[01:20.92] Return to me salvation
[01:26.97] My God, my Tourniquet
[01:30.49] Return to me salvation
[01:36.49] Do you remember me?
[01:41.09] Lost for so long
[01:45.92] Will you be on the other side?
[01:50.33] Or will you forget me?
[01:55.18] I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
[02:04.55] Am I too lost to be saved?
[02:09.14] Am I too lost?
[02:14.00] My God, my Tourniquet
[02:17.59] Return to me salvation
[02:23.13] My God, my Tourniquet
[02:26.68] Return to me salvation
[02:33.22]
[02:36.76] (Return to me salvation)
[02:42.19]
[02:48.92] I want to die
[02:51.41] My God, my Tourniquet
[02:55.02] Return to me salvation
[03:00.79] My God, my Tourniquet
[03:04.37] Return to me salvation
[03:10.15] My wounds cry for the grave
[03:14.74] My soul cries for deliverance
[03:19.51] Will I be denied Christ?
[03:24.85] Tourniquet
[03:26.50] My suicide
[03:29.92]
[03:32.58] Return to me salvation
[03:41.56] Return to me salvation
[03:46.83]
