Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth,
Things I cannot speak
She comes on like a crippled plaything,
Spine is just a string

I wrapped our love in all this foil,
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil,
But flies will lay their eggs

Chorus:
Take your hatred out on me,
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me,
I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly,
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts baby please tell me,
Preserve the innocence

I never wanted it to end like this,
But flies will lay their eggs (Mmm, Mmm, Mmm)

Chorus

What I wanted,
What I needed,
What I got for me...x2

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Chorus

Take it out, take it out
Your not fighting me,
I don't believe me!
I never ever believed in me,
I am your tourniquet
