Western Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forgotten throes of another's life
The heart of love is our only light
Faithless screeds, consolidating
Holding down sweet charity

[Pre-Chorus]
With western eyes and serpents' breath
We lay our own conscience to rest

[Chorus]
But I'm aching at the view
Yes, I'm breaking at the seams just like you

[Verse 2]
They have values of a certain taste
The innocent they can hardly wait
To crucify, invalidating
Turning to dishonesty

[Pre-Chorus]
With western eyes and serpents' breath
They lay their own conscience to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heroes candidly
[Chorus]
So, I'm aching at the view
Yes, I'm breaking at the seams just like you

[Outro]
I feel so cold
All hookers and gin
This mess we're in
