"Tourniquet" lyrics

"Tourniquet"

I can't bear to see
I can barely breathe
Too much or not enough
I'm walking the line between
Apathy so desperately
It's so hard to wake up
It's so hard to fall asleep

I try to close my eyes
But flashing lights are all I see
I'm in a nightmare
And you're in my day dream
And it's always something
It's always something
I can feel you in today's breeze
I can feel your ghost sleeping next to me

And it's winter again and there's cracks in my skin
Nothing stops the bleeding
You turn your cheek
A tourniquet
You turn and leave

And it's winter again and there's scars on my limbs
Nothing stops the bleeding
You turn your cheek
A tourniquet
You turn and leave
