Twilight - Tourniquet

When Father Time begins to run out on you

There’s a place we take you to

«Just a burden now», I heard them say

I know I’m just in the way

You watch the car as they drive slowly away

Their guilt will hang on them for just today

All alone you sit, the phone never rings

Each day new sorrow brings

And the holidays, they come and they go

But there’s one thing that I know

Even though my family counts me for dead

I never see them anyway

My life to God is not a worthless mistake

He’s right there with me in my endless heartache

Can you look away from all this pain

Or do you think it isn’t there

Can you look away from all this pain

Say you just don’t really care

As we lock our priceless heritage away

Our kin the elderly

Do you know someone who stares at the walls

I think you know what to do
