Lyrics[]
I woke up again with the same regret
Jump into this mess, no exit yet
Every choice I make, it falls apart
But that's the beat, the groove is in my heart
Pathetic, I wear it like a crown
I crash, I burn, I laugh out loud
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm reckless, yeah, I know it's true
But it's the madness that gets me through
A hopeless anthem just for me
I find my song, yeah, yeah, yeah
They think they know me
But that's the old me
Usеd to control me
But now they moldy (Yup)
Committed and I did it
And you labеl me a menace and a villain
'Cause you can't get with it
Hate my presence, hate my business
Got no feelings, good riddance
I'm reckless, yeah, I know it's true
But it's the madness that gets me through
A hopeless anthem just for me
I find my song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running out of time, the rush ignites my mind
Light another smoke, fill the empty sky
Everything's a mess, I play along
Just another day, doomed but having fun
Pathetic, I know but can't be done
Laugh it off, just counting down, three, two, one
No more games, no more chains
Switching lanes, from this space, out the race
On my own, on my pace
No more FOMO from this day (Ayy)
Don't explain, all that pain
They insane, when it's time, let 'em pay
The world in flames but they still chasing fame
I'm reckless, yeah, I'm breaking through
And it's the madness that lights the fuse
A twisted anthem just for me
I find my way, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm reckless, yeah, I know it's true
But it's the madness that gets me through
A hopeless anthem just for me
I find my song, yeah, yeah, yeah
