Track One off of my debut album, Through These Rough Years.
This song sets the scene for the album, and functions as a warning to the listener that this is largely a venting album, and that if you don't like listening to other people's problems, or lack empathy for what other people might be going through, you should probably not listen to the rest of the album.
LYRICS:
-Intro-
Here we go,
Let’s set up the scene!
-Verse 1-
Welcome to my life
Was this what you thought you’d see?
It’s average, boring, nothing special
At the expense of me
This story is nothing new
But there’s still much to say
I’m still reaching out to you
Listen further if you really care enough
-Chorus-
I've been through so much in these last few years
This story, these songs, let me make it clear
If you don’t want to listen to my problems
You might want to leave, the words you’ll receive
This greeting is just a warning
-Verse 2-
I’m a bit messed up in my head
My anger is uncontrollable
Depression, frustration
Aimed at this world
I’ve scared loved ones away
I never wanted to, but it’s just the way
Life goes for me,
It’s getting old!
-Verse 3-
I have emotions kept inside, but in these walls I hide
I have pain to get out of my head
But if you do not care, my rants you should not bear
You may want to leave if you do not--
Care enough
-Chorus-
I've been through so much in these last few years
This story, these songs, let me make it clear
If you don’t want to listen to my problems
You might want to leave, the words you’ll receive
This greeting is just a warning
