Lyrics

Love Is a Tourniquet
(Calamera/Swarthout)###Bleeding energy, strength is hemorrhaging,All reserves depleted, psyche’s breaking.Pulse is pounding hard, senses ripped apart,Messy breakup, raw emotions raging;Fragile mental health, start to blame yourself,Heard the lies too long don’t know what truth is;Hanging by a thread, savior heaven sent,Pray this time I won’t be so damn foolish.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.There’s no instant cure, symptomatic fears,Healing process picking up the pieces.Self-esteem renewed, changing attitude,Wrapped up in your arms my life has meaning.Love’s protecting hold, in complete control,Grips you tight with its unyielding tension;Tender loving care, surgically repaired,Stitch me back together, wounds are mended.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.Resuscitating me,Tying into place the tattered loose ends.Seal my open wounds, stroke me where I’m bruised,Wrapped up in your arms my life has meaning.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.Boosting my vital signs with a kiss, love is a tourniquet.Binding a torn lifeline with a twist, love is a tourniquet.Bleeding energy, strength is hemorrhaging,All reserves depleted, psyche’s breaking.Seal my open wounds, stroke me where I’m bruised,Wrapped up in your arms my life has meaning.
