Lyrics

Detroit

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 I 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 They tore down the Berlin Wall They tore down the Berlin Wall They tore down the Berlin Wall
