Name: Hard Times 'a Coming
Duration: P00H03M10S
Description: My attempt at a... country song? Not really, I guess, but it's definitely folkier than my usual stuff. I think the song is okay enough, but the recording is pretty terrible. Also the first song that I wrote that deals a bit with suicide and depression, so it's notable in that regard.

My attempt at a... country song? Not really, I guess, but it's definitely folkier than my usual stuff. I think the song is okay enough, but the recording is pretty terrible. Also the first song that I wrote that deals a bit with suicide and depression, so it's notable in that regard.

lyrics

Why does every day gotta be so hard?
Why does every mile gotta be so far?
Why can't the world just stop its spin?
'Cause I'm dreading every night for the day to begin

I feel hard times are coming
And I don't think I wanna be here

Thinking about the future is so hard to do
When you don't think you'll make it past 22
Really kind of hoping for a hot ball of sun
To come and burn away everything that you've done

I feel hard times are coming
And I don't think I wanna be here

Soon you'll feel sad
'Cause you lost all you had
And you'll never see the sun or sky again
And then you may cry
You're not sure the reason why
But you never wanna feel this way again
And then you won't feel
Guess it's not that ideal
But at least you'll never have to frown that way again

I feel hard times are coming
I think they're already here
I feel hard times are coming
And I don't think I wanna be here
