Tourniquet Lyrics

[00:01.01] Think i might try to try to sail off the edge of the world
[00:08.62] But i'll probably make one big great circle the way that i always do
[00:16.42] Yeah, "sometimes you get so close to someone
[00:21.11] You end up on the other side of them"
[00:25.39] I'm comforted it's not the end, it's just a loop
[00:32.87] Building collapse, pressure outweighs the pain
[00:36.76] I don't feel sad, i don't feel anything
[00:40.64] Only will when the blood returns
[00:43.82] I'd rather be numb than know how bad i'm hurt
[00:49.08] So i'll keep the tourniquet on
[00:59.12] Take it back, shove it down
[01:02.52] You can get a new car but can't forget the way that it sounds
[01:07.54] Or feels to crash, high speed impact
[01:10.84] No police, the first person i called was my dad
[01:14.82] Now i'll walk myself down the aisle
[01:18.75] I'll be the parent and the least favorite only child
[01:22.38] Laundry days, 2pm
[01:26.73] Some people die before they're dead
[01:30.97] Building collapse, pressure outweighs the pain
[01:34.36] I don't feel sad, i don't feel anything
[01:38.30] Only will when the blood returns
[01:41.83] I'd rather be numb than know how bad i'm hurt
[01:46.86] So i'll keep the tourniquet on
[01:55.47] I'll block it out and off
[02:03.06] Cuz i don't need anyone, i don't need anyone
[02:07.27] I don't need anyone at all
[02:11.30] If i keep the tourniquet on
[02:20.28] I spend every night with the tv on
[02:24.13] I can't bear to be alone with my own thoughts
[02:28.30] Maybe we always start right back where we end
[02:32.48] Don't know if i'm god or if i'm sisyphus
[02:36.35] Would my suffering be special then?
[02:40.22] Monetizable? immortalized in a myth?
[02:44.70] If there's no good thing or evil that people won't one day forget
[02:53.65] Oh, i'll keep on the tourniquet
[02:59.31] I'll keep the tourniquet on
[03:06.98] I'll block it out and off
[03:14.91] Cuz i dont need anyone, i dont need anyone, i dont need anyone at all
[03:23.36] So i keep the tourniquet on
[03:32.49]
