This is a personal song I wrote last year when going through a rough patch. Recorded it all in one take.

Lyrics:
I heard your favorite band on the radio today,
It's been a while honey are you okay?
You take a drag and swig down some 12%,
Seventeen is such a troubled age.

I notice you're wearing your bracelets again.
Have you been eating lately, you're awfully thin.
I know you've been down awhile and life is a drag,
I know how you feel like a voodoo doll made of rags,
Well, pull out the needles and release the curse.
Replaying it in your head will only make it worse.
Hold yourself together and just try to breathe.
Seventeen is such a troubled age.

Does your mother know of what you've done?
You claim you were only trying to have some fun.
You take a drag and choke down some more meds,
And as you sleep you dream of sleeping in other beds.
I know you'll leave this town and you'll run away from me,
And as you storm away you'll leave all the debris.
Hold yourself together and just try to breathe.
Seventeen is such a troubled age.
Seventeen is such a troubled age.

I heard your favorite band on the radio today,
I wonder if you're hearing them from light years away.
I take a drag and step out of my cage.
Seventeen is such a troubled age.
