self consciousness strikes
"nephew was kickin yur leg"

"sang two nights"
"give it a ****in break"

"to you"

***
how to stick out in th background
***
i love it when th voice
comes in hard
***
that sound in th audience voice
when you go past th
threshold
when th voice projection hits hard
and th combined harmonized vocals
take th foreground from th amplified guitar
singin it hard
