mmHg — Reckless
January 10, 2013 7:45 AM
So I have another instrumental piece of pop to share with everyone. This one has lyrics but I don't like the way my vocals sound with it. It basically expresses remorse for a Wet Reckless (reduced DUI) in a roundabout way all while using a 1-5-6-4 progression that avoids total cliché by way of a treble synth playing altered tones and keeping it fresh.
With added bonus of a (1) 2!!! 3 4 style chorus.

Working lyrics:
verse-
I don't know what I thought
But I don't think I'm bad
Didn't hurt anyone
But this is what I get
Everything crashing down
But do I deserve it?
chorus-
Reckless, yeah, sometimes I feel worthless,
Take it all until I'm
Helpless, I pay the price for being
Senseless, I know, I know, that I'm a
Fuck up, yeah I know that I'm a
Screw up, you can't say you never
Messed up, moving on and I won't give up
But it'll take some time
verse 2-
I'm filled with what-ifs now
If only this or that
Just to go back some how
I don't know what I'd give
You say don't dwell on it
But how can I not?
chorus-
Reckless, yeah, sometimes I feel worthless,
Take it all until I'm
Helpless, I pay the price for being
Senseless, I know, I know, that I'm a
Fuck up, yeah I know that I'm a
Screw up, you can't say you never
Messed up, moving on and I won't give up
But it'll take some time
bridge-
Wish things would change
I wish that it'd go away
I wish that I could just go back to that day and
You know I'd give anything
You know I'd give anything
You know I'd give anything
To go back and not be
