I can only provide very high-level, obvious-to-the-ear type of feedback, but here you go...
While the type of music isn't my cup of tea, I couldn't find anything that jumped out at me with the mix that I'd say to change. You got a good voice. With this type of song I'd probably stick some reverb or delay on the vocal so it blends a little better with the music. That it sounds clean makes it stand out more, though, so if you were going for that, I'd leave it alone.

You've got level issues with the vocal. Tame some of the peaks. Also, I'd take the verb down a bit on the quiet vocal part with the hat and the wind. It's sparse. It'll be more effective if the voice is up front. You don't have to contrast it with the main vocal so much.

I don't like the "high hat" sample. It's not real or unreal enough.
I heard one lines as "Part of me dies when you wenna way yeaaa ah"
Diction is important with a voice so nakedly on display. Yeahhhhhh just doesn't work I'm afraid and consistent tense is important as well.

I liked the idea and structure behind the song, and I liked the textures.
I note Dobro's comments about vocal peaks.
I most enjoyed the quiet bit (even the hi-hats), and I would like to see some of the atonal elements here carrying over into other parts of the song.
I didn't think there was too much reverb in this part. I thought that there was too little reverb (on voice and instruments) in the other parts, and for me this gave me a sense of disconnect. It's probably a bit of a musical cliche to have lots of reverb because it's a spooky song, but at the same time, going the other way doesn't quite work for me.

It was spooky in an incredibly cheesy manner. 
The vocal needs some treatment. It is rather bright/harsh at points and seems to float outside of the song. Some of the pops on the "p" sounds were noticeable as well. You could probably solve these problems by just turning it down a few dB.
Some instrument sounds definitely sounded very fake. I can't tell if you wanted it to sound realistic or if you were going for more of an electronic goth vibe anyhow.
The hi-hat sounded more like a click track on steroids than a hi-hat though.
