WILBR : Little Yellow Hearts Lyrics

"Little Yellow Hearts"

I’ll confess, he did his best, to stay so uninformed

The world seemed cursed, and Billy’s terseness seemed improper form

Billy felt such fear to hear a critic in his ear

Or to witness one within, so he weren’t thinking very clear

Had Billy been approached by men who seemed not to like him

He might have compromised his life to win some shitty friends

So I relate to guys at ICE with little yellow hearts

Who inflate their egos so to feel like men instead of sharks

I relate to guys at ICE with little yellow hearts

Holding space for rage, I empathize and condemnate

A clementine at rotting time, and all who fall away,

Led by little yellow hearts and needing help to see their pain

Billy learned to save himself through love and slowing down

He stopped to smell the roses and befriended all in town

Billy learned some power seems illusion ego eats

So he took some time, and lost some friends, and learned to think more free

I relate to guys at ICE with little yellow hearts

Since I was Billy, seems so silly now to choose the dark

Medicine I found within has lighted up my way

And the little yellow heart’s grown like the grinch on Christmas day
