Songtexte Greener Pastries - Jared Morris

Can you hear the labored sounds my voice makes
Twelve months blur you one day
They bring in more scorpions with venom
Than honey or wisdom

I never made more than I should have
By God, my God, is this how the world is
I've seen the way that they hold their hands in mocking
Say, mother, while howling, respect me

Oh, once was enough
Oh, once was enough
The greener the former, the thicker the rough
Oh, once was enough for me

For love of life, for the love of reason
Somehow I'm still breathing
But hold your guns, move them to the center
It gets worse before it gets better

I've never made more than I should have
By God, my God, is this how the world is
I've seen the way that they plot, position
And poison the water in effort to mock me

Oh, once was enough
Oh, once was enough
The greener the former, the thicker the rough
Oh, once was enough for me

Oh, once was enough
Oh, once was enough
Oh, once was enough
Oh, once was enough for me
