Crying

Crying is the first track off of Wesley Evans' third EP, We Came Unprepared.

Background
We Came Unprepared was based off of an acrostic poem that Evans' friend wrote for him as a joke. He originally didn't have any plans for it, but thought it would be fun to make a track listing with it. Crying was the first song he wrote for the EP.

Composition
Crying is an ambient, acoustic track that contains pianos and a distorted violin. The song is written in the key of C phrygian at 83 beats per minute, and lasts for 4 minutes and 48 seconds. The song follows the chord progression: cm-bbm-Db-fm, later switching to cm-bbm-dm-fm.

Lyrics
Broke down again

Fifth time this week

But happiness

Is all I seek

But In order to get anywhere in life

I need to survive

and get through you

But by the end of the day

I wonder why I’m even trying

Cause why do I want to stay

where I’m losing my mind and crying

I’m crying out

but no one hears

Cr-cr-crying out

but no one helps

Cr-cr-crying out

It can be rough

an endless fight

that will lead you

to sleepless nights

But In order to get anywhere in life

I need to survive

and get through you

But by the end of the day

I wonder why I’m even trying

Cause why do I want to stay

where I’m losing my mind and crying

I’m crying out

but no one hears

Cr-cr-crying out

but no one helps

Cr-cr-crying out

I’m crying out

but no one hears

Cr-cr-crying out

but no one helps

Cr-cr-crying out
