lyrics

SPOONFEED HELL

I starve in the city of shame
I fast in the world full of game
I can wait idle in queues for hours
I can almost watch the grapes go sour

I starve I fast I wait I watch
I starve I fast I wait I watch

It’s the easiest feast in the world
a chance to make a living, as long as it lasts
their trivial smell, their spoonfeed hell
to make sure that I won’t fast too fast

When will the odds return
when will we ever learn
when will the gods return
when will they ever burn

I starve in the city of shame
I fast in the world full of game
I can wait idle in queues for hours
I can almost watch the grapes go sour

In queues — in shops — on corners — behind bars
in the park — at home — outside — in the rain
on the bus — on a bench...
underneath the stars
