I listened to the sounds of a beautiful song today called 'A Perfect Tourniquet' by Anberlin. The tenor of the ballad is about two people who have become a part of each other and have grown apart from each other, but too scared to see the effects of ever cutting the tie.

Relationships are like tourniquets. Tourniquets are devices used on an arteries to clamp it, preventing severe bleeding. Sometimes relationships do not prevail and fall apart, but better than acknowledging this and accepting to move on, the unimaginable pain forces some to be oblivious and put up with what they are used to. If their tourniquet breaks, they cant imagine surviving.
