Billy Howerdell: Felt like the right song to welcome listeners.

Billy Howerdell from A Perfect Circle with new song entitled Selfish Heart,

Lyrics:

When my Eyes Were truly open

It’s so painfully obvious

You behave with no intention

Of meeting me in this place

I’ve just got to find

Get back to being

The lost one that you mistake me for

You’ll never find

What you seekIn

These selfish hearts

You’ll never find what you seek

In these human hearts

When my mind ripped gently open

Pouring past cries out on the wind

You were there in body only

Clearly self absorbed again

Puddle tears cleanse filthy streets

Soaked, shattered heart laid at your feet

It’s clearly time to let go of

The perfection that I seek
