Hello my friend, we have been waiting for you for a long time

We're just people too

I'd like to make my shame count for something
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A F#m C#m A
I feel so empty trying to explain this

His name is William Onyeabor, heâ??s from the 70s

Let go of the pain, let go of the fear
Bm A
But if I let go of that
What will still be here
Will I find out

[Outro]
N.C.
Should I say that one more time?
Um, yeah, I mean, uh, the intent was to sort of go back to these periods and, and revisit them a little bit,
especially with Teens of Style. You know, with Teens of Denial it was sort of contemporaneous when
I was writing it. You know, and what I was experiencing at the time. And, uh, I guess I was just out
of my teenage years when I was writing things for Teens of Denial. I didn't really feel like anything
had changed. So, um, yeah I guess, you know, the two of those albums together are sort of, they're both
an exploration of past feelings and how they connect to the present and what I'm doing in the present tense
I'm sorry, you'll have to say that again
The connection must be bad. Um, can you try one more time?
Ahh. Um, when I was starting out, I, uh, recorded vocals in my car sometimes, uh, just for the sake of privacy
