A song I'm working on... (lyrics, instrumental, genre, vocalist)

I'm not exactly sure which forum this fits into, because I'm not sure what this would be defined as genre wise, but I'd love any thoughts anyone has. I have the whole song written out, but only the first two verse/chorus sections actually recorded. I still have some instrumental sections, a solo section and another verse/chorus to throw in. I honestly haven't written many vocal tracks (you'll have to bear with my voice as I'm generally off because I don't have much experience as a vocalist, but I think it's just a matter of practice to make sure I'm hitting the tones correctly), but I've kind of had an itch to start recently.

Anyways, I'd love any thoughts anyone may have, good or bad, so just lay it on me. Thanks in advance for listening.

Edit - By the way, kudos to the poster who had "I'm just a man, learning to fall" in their sig, I owe you (or someone else) a writing credit on that one. I had all of the music there, and I just saw that written on a page in front of me because I copied it down, and the whole thing came together after that.

Edit again - So after taking into account Emsanders advice (which I'm quite thankful for), I changed my approach to singing and it feels more comfortable. I was hoping to get some thoughts on whether people like it more or not. If I'm still awful, please don't be afraid to tell me though.
