Lyrics
Detroit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They tore down the Berlin Wall
They let the hammer and sickle fall
They fitted me for a uniform
Had it ready the day I was born
I destroy everyone I love
I destroy everything I touch
I don't own my own skin
All I got is original sin
Brought down in a broken home
Mixed blood brittle bones
I destroy everyone I love
I destroy everything I touch
Love sex
Female hex
Open eyes
Empty legs
No release
Exist to cease
Gimme a knife
Break my teeth
They tore down the Berlin Wall
