Just making a few notes as I listen. So, here goes.
Piano sounds a bit too loud, in contrast to the percussion. Either bring up the percussion, or lower the piano. I'd recommend bringing the percussion up, as it seems the piano is on a good level with the rest of the instruments. Reverb on the vocals are obvious, and the reverb you're using isn't good enough to be that obvious (in my opinion) - it also doesn't mix well with the sound of the other instruments. The vocals sound like they were recorded in a room, while it's obvious all the other instruments are coming out of a machine. (The chime around 1:40 is pretty low-quality).
Listening more to the piano leads me to recommend lowering it a bit, as the compression on the initial hit is obvious. It doesn't add anything to the song to have it that compressed, either. Why the lowering of the volume around 4:00? Sounds very out of place. Vocals at the end are a bit disconcerting - they're too loud. Using the overdriven effect is okay, but lower the volume.
That's about it! Hope it helps.

Sounds pretty good. The lead vocal has a little too much reverb for my taste but that's minor. Cool effects on the vocals. The big drop in volume was a bit too long for me, it sounded like the end of the song and lasted too long.... Overall really good IMHO...

Ah thank you so much for the feed back ^.^ It's very appreciated. Ah, But one thing. I'm only the singer here mixing my own vocals. I didn't produce the beat. So there's nothing I can really do about the beat i guess >.< I should have mentioned that in the initial first post. So about the over done reverb, is there a different type i should use? It's currently on the Studio Reverb (small room) effect in Adobe Audition
