Love & Loss In The Western World

An intimate scene, his heart is racing
She's under control & says she has to go
And he's left alone, once again, questioning
His faith caved in

She's wearing rain boots, walkin' in the sand
Smiles to herself, fidgets with her hand
She takes a deep breath, all for herself
Another end, she'll soon forget

Nothings as it seems
And it's all been done before
A consequence of fate
To live and love in the western world

Would you do it differently?
In another place and time
Would you do it differently?
In another state of mind

Can't lift his head, the light hurts his eyes
He's tired of this shit and his righteous sacrifice
He pours another shot, of delusion
Her scent is the drug, he'll be back again

She sits on the rocks and meditates
Dreams of perfection and never hesitates
And how she gives, is how she lives
She's on her path and won't look back

Nothings as it seems
And it's all a waste of time
Objects in the mirror
Aren't as close as they appear

Would you do it differently?
In another space and time
Would you do it differently?
In another state of mind

Do you think about it?
Do you think about it all?
Do you think about it?
Do you think about it all?
For how long?

Come and tell me now, yeah
Come and hurt me now, oh yeah

Nothings as it seems
And it's all been done before
A consequence of fate
When you live and love in the western world

Do you think about it?
Do you think about it all?
Do you think about it?
Do you think about it all?
Do you see it this way?
Do you see it this way at all?
Do you see it this way?
Do you see it this way at all?
Did you take it away?
Did you take it away?
Did you take it away?
Did you take it away?
For how long?
