Lyrics

Newspaper Spoons

[Verse]

Writhing violence essentially without distortion

Wired silent, vanishing into the boredom

Deliberately made to disintegrate

Difficult existence, underestimated alienation

[Verse]

Writhing violence essentially without distortion

Wired silent, vanishing into the boredom

Deliberately made to disintegrate

Difficult existence, underestimated alienation

[Refrain]

We're bending newspaper spoons

We're bending newspaper spoons
