I break everything I touch,
everything I touch breaks;
I rip legs from spiders because I am cruel
I break hearts of girls by loving them all.
Steel and smoke
or razors and rain.
Everything I touch breaks,
I break everything I touch.
I whistle bull sonatas at thin glass to hear it shatter,
and deliver honesty in wicked deliverance.
Curdling cherished memories into goose pimpled skin
to slice them like ham, to shred.
Grant skills to dig the soil in earnest
from fevers and convulsion;
the hybrids blow ghosts into velvet devils
kid corpses meet zombie farms.
I break everything I touch,
everything I touch breaks.
I eat hearts because I love life so much,
I crush snails because I love death...
