    This is my new CD with a booklet I made, which is basically a physical copy of the pdf file you get with the album. It's a few bucks extra if that's cool. Also, it's black and white because color copies cost like 10 dollars to make and damn thats alot.

    note: im kinda bad at making these so far, so ill pay you back if theyre not up to par. sorry!

lyrics

Before I start this song ill say that life’s been very good to me
I marvel from my golden seat, and sadness is just a passing thing
But in my room I write this song, my laptop keys they sing along
And I can’t tell what went wrong, with me or you or anyone

This brain of mine is full of thoughts, that I can never figure out
So in my head I have the bout, between my happiness and doubt
We try as hard as we can, but things don’t ever go as planned
Hey, I guess that’s life

If I’da known, just how things would be
If I’da known, what lay before my feet
If I’da known, well I wouldn’t change a thing
I would just be better prepared for the changes

So I’ll pray I’m doing good enough, and tell myself the same old stuff
About how things get twice as rough, but that just makes us twice as tough
But how does a tree relax, after every time the axe
swings and adds up to the tax, of gravity by lumberjacks?

The scars tend to feel much more, like memories of open doors
That led to pain and hurt and scorn, of skin that can’t take anymore
The pain and fate of past mistakes, the things that keep us all awake
Bring us to the ground

Regrets will consume our thoughts
Failures will weigh down on our hearts

But
If I’da known, just how things would be
If I’da known, what lay before my feet
If I’da known, well I wouldn’t change a thing
I would just be better prepared for the changes
