Hey, Tony, a lot of your lyrics seem to look at things from a distance, as if you're flying over them with a drone. That makes sense because they tackle big philosophical / religious issues. This is different. It's not "the" heart, it's your heart. Land your drone in the middle of this mess and bring us with you, if you feel like you can.

in only mutual disregard
my heart still gambles
yearning to live and love again
in the sundered shambles....

Just a thought.
