Tourniquet - Baroness

Bought an artificial heart and it’s broken

It never started

Please operator, take it out of here

Don’t let it be the death of me

Filled my bloodstream up with poison and ashes

Now I’m starving

Don’t ever let me go, my sweet amphetamine

Holding on, all alone

Somebody throw me a tourniquet

I’m open-hearted

I took a shot in the dark and I’m wasted

Start it all again

I tried to save myself from a heart attack

But I had it coming

Another shot to my cardiac

Did not start it up

Wake me up on the ocean floor

A storm’s passing overhead

Warning me to come ashore

In the blink of an eye

My heart still breaks

My blood still waits

I’ll never sleep alone

I’ve got an artificial heart

It beats but I can’t feel a thing

It’s an unofficial part

It bleeds but I’m already gone

Better hurry up with the tourniquet

'Cause I’m open-hearted

Please operator, take it out of here

And start it up

I’ve got an artificial heart

It beats but I can’t feel a thing

It’s an unofficial part

It bleeds but I’m already gone
