Western Eyes |
Forgotten throes of anothers life |
The heart of love is their only light |
Faithless greeds, consolidating |
Holding down sweet charity |
With western eyes and serpents breath |
We lay our own conscience to rest |
But I’m aching at the view |
Yes I’m breaking at the scenes 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 serpents breath |
They lay their own conscience to rest |
But then they lie and then they dare to be Hidden heros candidly |
So I’m aching at the view |
Yes I’m breaking at the scenes just like you |
(I feel so cold on hookers and gin… this mess we’re in!) |
