Lyrics

Verse Chorus Verse

[Verse 1]

Neither side is sacred

No one wants to win

Feeling so sedated

Think I'll just give in

Taking medication

Till my stomach's full

Neither side is sacred

Crawling in the hole

[Chorus]

The grass is greener over here

You're the fog that keeps it clear

Re-inventing what we knew

Taken time is all but true

You're the reason I feel pain

Feels so good to feel again

[Verse 2]

Neither side is sacred

No one wants to win

Feeling so sedated

But I can't give in

Taking medication

Till my stomach's full

Feelin' so sedated

When I'm in my home

[Chorus]

The grass is greener over here

You're the fog that keeps it clear

Re-inventing what we knew

Taken time is weird but true

You're the reason I feel pain

Feels so good to feel again

[Interlude]

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Neither side is sacred

No one wants to win

Feeling so sedated

We all just give in

Taking medication

Till my stomach's full

Feelin' so sedated

When I'm in my home

[Chorus]

The grass is greener over here

You're the fog that keeps it clear

Re-inventing what we knew

Learn from history, all that’s true

You're the reason I feel pain

Feels so good to feel again

[Outro]

Oh
