Thanks so much!

I call a strange girl, and I wait for the tone, how awfully bad, how terribly forward
I call myself but I know I'm not home, how wretchedly sad, how perfectly backward
I take a knife pull it out of my back, and save all the women that I can
Everyone tells me to just be myself, but no one can tell me who I am

Chorus
If you want to be understood, understand
It's not just a flat piece of wood, it's a plan
That says that you love me for all that I am

I leave my house and I put on my mask
Put gel in my hair, wear my expensive pants
I'm cocky and flashy and smooth as her skin
And because of her skin
I look in her eyes and I tell her I'm gorgeous
And it seems she look back and believe' me
I wish that I could just act like myself
But if I did then she wouldn't see me

Chorus

I am changing
To what she made me
You can't change me back

I am changing, you can't save me
I will fade to black

I call a strange girl and I wait for the tone
How wretchedly sad, how perfectly backwards

If you want to be understood, understand
It's not just a flat piece of wood, it's a plan
That says that you love me for all that I am
The man behind the mask

Here's an interview my friend Adam did with me a little while ago: Rafe: I hail from Toronto Ontario. I play a lot of shows and hopefully I will pursue music over the next period of time. Adam: Who are some of your biggest influences? Rafe: I have a lot of influences. I was always very into the old school guys like The Doors, Neil Young and Dylan were my favourites. Lately though, I've been really interested in some of the new guys. I love Panic! At the disco, (or panic at the disco as they recently changed their name) fall out boy, Rocket Summer, Something Corporate, Mute Math, Regina Spektor is one of my favourites. I found this other girl on her myspace, Jenny Owens Young who I'm really into. I love Tragically Hip but I wouldn't say I sound anything like them. Adam: Who would you say you sound like? Rafe: Well, I tell people, stylistically I sound like a mix between Green Day and Billy Joel. Obviously that's not really true, it just gets people interested. I get "Something Corporate" a lot and also rocket summer. Sometimes people say I sound like Barenaked Ladies mostly because I sing really fast at some points, like in "Love in a Little Grey Box". I also am heavily influenced by John Mayer and Jason Mraz. Adam: Any songs your listening to a lot of these days? Rafe: Ya, I really like "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles. That songs a blatant hit. Also, "Say" by John Mayer I love. Oh yeah, I was never a death cab for cutie fan but I love there new album. "I will possess your heart" is really a fantastic song. Adam: What's the best live show you've ever been to. Rafe: John Butler Trio followed by John Mayer. Adam: Top 5 favourite books: Rafe: 5: "The Game". 4: Golden Compass Series. 3: Narnia Series. 2: Ender's game series. 1: Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy series. Adam: And movies? Rafe: Hmm, not so easy. I'm not as in to movies. Memento I liked a lot. Not as many clear cut favourites. For TV shows I love South Park and Battlestar Gallactica. Adam: Can you name some unknown artists that you really like? Rafe: Sure, I just saw "The Midway State" last night who was awesome. Robyn Dell'unto, Darrelle London, Kat Fatale. David Borins. Peter J Fox, and tons more but I just can't think of them off the top of my head. Adam: Thanks! Rafe: NP. Thank yOU!
