Description
Ok, so I'm back again with this tune. Only this time, I've had the very talented kevmikwa hanging out with me on drums, and his track blew my mind. So a HUGE thanks goes out to him for helping me out again. I've re-worked the vocals a touch as well.
In case you missed it the first time:
This is a song that I started writing probably about three years ago, and never made it past the first verse and chorus. Every once in a while when I picked up my guitar, I'd start strumming these chords, and the song would sort of sprout up again. Well, finally, after three years of tinkering, it's finally done. Lyrically it's a little darker than I would typically write, but expanding musical horizons is always a good thing.
As always, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Lyrics
I was standing out as the rain was pouring down
I was too dry to come inside
I was on the edge on the verge of breaking down
My sanity would not comply
Chorus:
Where do I go now
I've got nowhere to turn, that bridge has burned
Where do I, where do I go now
Honey you did all you could, but I am
Damaged Goods
I'm all alone in an over crowded room
I want to run to face my fears
In my head well that little voice consumes
The thoughts that it engineers
Chorus
I'd try to sleep but these ghosts exhaust my bed
Those who came before torn away
Sick of hanging on they chose to cut their thread
Didn't realize I'd be healed to stay
Chorus
I am damaged, I am damaged goods
I was too dry to come inside
I was on the edge on the verge of breaking down
My sanity would not comply
Chorus:
Where do I go now
I've got nowhere to turn, that bridge has burned
Where do I, where do I go now
Honey you did all you could, but I am
Damaged Goods
I'm all alone in an over crowded room
I want to run to face my fears
In my head well that little voice consumes
The thoughts that it engineers
Chorus
I'd try to sleep but these ghosts exhaust my bed
Those who came before torn away
Sick of hanging on they chose to cut their thread
Didn't realize I'd be healed to stay
Chorus
I am damaged, I am damaged goods

What a good live in the studio sound you've gotten here. I especially like the way your voices overlaps itself from verse to chorus. The guitar tones are fantastic as well as the playing all around. Lyrics and vocals are wonderful - I really connect with the second verse. Well done. What a difference a drummer can make - great job kevmickwa - excellent collab. This song is also structurally interesting BTW.
