----- Optional Second Guitar Part
Throughout the verses a keyboard/synthesizer is playing a wind sound effect
in the background. A second guitar can achieve this by either using feedback
in the pitch of A or using an open A string and feeding either one through
a wah pedal.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
The more I feel...
The more I die...
Nothing to give...
Nothing inside...
Chorus 1:
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
Verse 2:
I scratch and tear...
Until it bleeds...
I do not want...
I only need...I only need...I only need...
Chorus 2:
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you.)
Everything I touch I break. (I wanna break you down.)
[Third vocal line:]
(Then when I break you. Then when I break you. Then I break you.)
