A change of heart?

lyrics

The Heart Doesn't Change

A disturbing, lack of faith
I'm just letting off some steam
Lack of intelligence
Makes many too extreme
That's my America,
Speaking as you please
With no reprimand by the media,
That feels entitled to arbitrary appease.
I'm indifferent
It's nothing personal
I'm a narcissistic, antisocial

There's nothing going on
And I wanna say goodbye
It's not showing on the ground
but it's snowing in the sky.
The character is fake
It's not the tale that's tall
I'm not gonna sit and wait
For a flake to fall

What constitutes as truth
You can still dilute
But it's nothing new
When you follow it back to the roots
You'll find a sense of belonging was detached
But that's not me now
I'm not delusional, anymore.
I sober up on the couch
No longer pass out on the floor.

A change of heart.
No, the heart doesn't change.
We change our thoughts,
That make us change our ways.
I'll take the happiness
That comes with pain
And just keep grinding on in wistful gain.
On second thought,
I'll think of happier days,
That are coming straight to us
As we adore the praise
That was meant to bring us joy
When we destroy
Malicious ego.

We will know
Exchanged love and compassion as we go
Beyond greed
And sail past all of the dark sea.
No more indentured slaves
Incorporated into fascist, oligarchy.

And what acceptance it is,
To not own what you have.
