Bored to death!

If I’ve received one of the limited phone calls with my Song, how does that work? What if I’m too nervous to talk to Max?

The first several hundred people who buy either the full or half songs will be getting a call from me. Make sure to include a functioning cell phone number with your song if you are one of the limited amount of people to be a part of this; some time after I’m done with the songs, I’ll call everyone on my list to make sure you got ‘em and to say hi! If I miss you, I’ll leave you a voicemail. We’ll contact you after that with an opportunity for you to call my phone. International customers will have to wait until that opportunity is provided, and then you can call me and we’ll chat! Note that I’m a very neurotic man and I guarantee that I’m just as awkward as you so don’t worry about talking to me,- it’ll be fun! If you really feel too weird or don’t care about it, feel free to just not pick up the phone and then don’t get in touch when prompted!

I usually get all shakey when I have to talk to random people on the phone...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Almost 2AM.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Can your heart still break,
If it's already stopped beating?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

She's a rotten kind of cute for a zombie prostitute!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

They lied when they said the good die young!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Don't fall asleep...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Stay with me, stay with me tonight.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

They lied...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Oh!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Two roads... split off from here,
and my life goes running in opposite directions.
Exaggerating the barrier between who I am, and who I want to be.

I wanted to be that breath of fresh air,
When everything smelled so insincere.
But this taste still lingers in my mouth,
Deceit has ways of sticking around.
And I'm ready to disappear,
Vacation seems far, seems far from here.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, come back to me, to me.
Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, back to me, to me.

I can feel my mind, wandering again.
Into where I don't know, and will I ever get home?
Time starts moving, faster than I can.
And I'm sick of this scene,
I need a break from routine.
