How... disturbing...

[lyssie]

I was downloading much Evanescence this afternoon. Much, which then got dumped, since there's unpleasant audio squealing due to copy protection crap.

But I still kept Tourniquet, 'cause the chorus was nifty. "My gun, my tourniquet"

Or so I thought.

For lyrics that really make you go, "Oh. And here I thought I liked them..."

I tried to kill my pain
But only brought more
(So much more)
I lay dying, and I'm pouring
cans of regrets
and piecemeal
I'm dying, praying, 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, praying, 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

(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 tourniquet
My self soul

This isn't to say I don't still like them. It's just... disconcerting. Very.

Because I normally hate Christian songs. But these are... good. Mostly, you don't notice the God thing. o.O
