Western Eyes

Lyrics

Forgotten throes at another's lie
 The heart of love is our only light
 Faithless greed, consolidating
 Holding down, sweet charity
 With western eyes, and serpent's breath
 We lay our own conscience to rest
 But, I'm aching
 At the view
 Yes, I'm breaking
 At the seams, just like you
 They have values of a certain taste
 The innocent, they can hardly wait
 To crucify, invalidating
 Turning to dishonesty
 With western eyes, and serpent's breath
 They lay their own conscience to rest
 But then they lie, and then they dare to be
 Hidden heroes, candidly
 So, I'm aching
 At the view
 Yes, I'm breaking
 At the seams, just like you
 ♪
 I feel so cold
 On hookers and gin
 ♪
 This mess we're in
