Lyrics
Fallen Version
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more [so much more]
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying [dying]
Praying [praying]
Bleeding [bleeding]
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?
I'm dying [dying]
Praying [praying]
Bleeding [bleeding]
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
I want to die
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ [christ]
Tourniquet
My suicide
Return to me salvation
Return to me salvation
Demo #1 and #2 Versions
I tried to kill the pain [kill the pain]

And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet

My God, my tourniquet
[Return to me salvation] return to me salvation
Tell me not, Father
That thou hearest of this
Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it
It strains me past the compass of my wits
If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help
Do thou but call my resolution wise
And with this I'll help it presently!
Hold Daughter!
Be not so long to speak
I long to die
My God, my tourniquet
[Return to me salvation] return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
