Tourniquet

About Tourniquet

"Tourniquet" is the second major-label single by the band Marilyn Manson, from the second studio album Antichrist Superstar. The image this song conveys is that of the main character in a world of sorrow and self-pity, prior to his transformation into the Little Horn. It was written by frontman Marilyn Manson, co-founder Daisy Berkowitz and longtime bassist and guitarist Twiggy Ramirez. Like many other songs from Antichrist Superstar, the songs lyrics are based on a dream Manson had. In the first few seconds of the song, backmasked vocals can be heard, which are: "This is my lowest point of vulnerability". Like many Marilyn Manson songs from the first three albums, some of the lyrics to this song were previously a poem Manson had written prior to the formation of the band. The title track was covered by the cello rock band Rasputina on their EP, The Lost & Found. The song was used as the theme music for professional wrestler Jeff Hardy during his stint with Ring Of Honor. The song is also featured as downloadable content for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock as part of the "February Mega Pack." The song also can be learned on guitar with Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. The song was part of the Marilyn Manson song pack that became available on 07-25-2017. more »

I'm made of hair and bone and little teeth 
And think I cannot speak 
I come on like a crippled plaything 
My 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 there eggs. 

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

Prosthetic synthesis and butterfly 
Sealed up with virgin stitch. 
If it hurts baby please don't cry 
Preserve my innocence 

I never wanted it end this way 
But flies will lay there eggs 
Take your hatred out on me 
Make your victim my head 
You never ever believed in me 
I am your tourniquet 

What I wanted 
What I needed 
I tried to get for me 
Nothing wanted 
Nothing needed 
No one comes for free 

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