altruism

Did you hear my covert narcissism

I disguise as altruism

Like some kind of congressman?

You don't owe no one an explanation to be alone again

(Put your logic over altruism, feelings over virtue)

And you'll find that perfect situation, the way I met you

Mysticism makes decisions from a purer prism

Magnetism, pragmatism, altruism, pacifism, idealism

Actualism, rehabilitation-ism, ostracism, skepticism

So you could be happy

Motivation of altruism, the selfishness

The desire for the pleasure of the reward

Revel in the adoration you acquire.

Dive into the altruism you inspire.

Then sit back and pour a drink, relax

Standing in the shade of altruisme, answering the call

Came a modern messiah to save us all

Every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed

No one acts from altruism, it all comes down to need

There's a monster inside my heart who tries to tear my world apart

In the end

It's a sacrifice to feed my altruism

To make me get out of bed (Out of bed)

Tell me how beautiful I am

A worthless act of altruism

Something I'll never understand

Hoarding turns allure to discontent

Altruism's a grind all it's own

Morning makes you know you're in a cell

A display of alacrity

Thinking altruism's more than just a deed

But a daub, a chance into a place that may or may not grant reward
