I was taught to be nice and kind ‘If you have a good heart, you will work out fine’ ‘You can draw people and friends that will be true’ So all the years went by I turned into this optimistic, idealistic happy disco-ball Who only shines when others shine But then it turns out the world is all but kind The villains don’t hide in the shadows in a downtown alleyway The charity and the money are just for show And everybody is lazy Walking ‘round throwing all the things and the love away like Caring is not a cool thing anymore But here I am still Looking at the good sides, making beliefs and Holding onto memories that’ve been long gone Thinking everyone still has their innocence in their hearts So, I tolerate the pain as if it could change them And read a little less into their intentions Just to find out I’m a unicorn in a swamp I was told to be less concerned ‘You can’t change how the world is rotten’ ‘You can’t change the way he’s fucked up even if you’re true’ But all the years went by I still didn’t learn my lesson and chose to stay As if they won’t torture their prey anyway So then it turns out I’m the one to blame ‘cause apparently Grown-ups don’t walk around without being voracious The handshaking and greeting is just for show And people should be selfish ‘You gotta take it all and have more to be a success’ like Being grateful isn’t cool anymore But here I am still Looking at the good sides, making beliefs and Holding onto memories that’ve been long gone Thinking everyone still has their innocence in their hearts So, I tolerate the pain as if it could change them And read a little less into their intentions Just to find out I’m a unicorn in a swamp Just to find out I’m a unicorn in a swamp
