If anyone has any advice to help me finish this WIP i'd be super grateful!!!
It's been a bit stop-starty for ages, so I just figured, I'm probably never going to get it finished if I don't get it out there and, fingers crossed, get some advice.....
It's obvs way more uptempo than my usual, and I'm trying to suss out compression (which I'm basically clueless about) to help give it the punchiness I want, and whatever else might help it come together.....
The instrument arrangement is still pretty simple at the mo - just piano, bass and drums.... does it need more?
So mainly I'm hoping for production advice and arrangement advice...but if anything else jumps out at you, please feel free to stick it to me

I was broken, I was gone
I was cast out from where I belong
I was cast out from the battleground where you won
But I'm coming back, oh I'm coming back strong
I was lost in the fog of your lungs
I was speechless and talking in tongues
I was breathless, the air all gone
But I'm coming back, oh I'm coming back strong
Always paper and scissors and stones
Always a pawn in a game of thrones
Always left like the chalk of old bones
On the pavement, on a dead-end road
All you've taken is time
Well I ain't wasting no more of mine
I ain't waiting for no change of mind
What's left is mine, oh what's left is mine
I got war-wounds honey, I got scars
I had a hangman stringing up my beating heart
You need reminders that you played your part?
Well what goes around honey, yeah it comes back fast
Well don't be fooled, no this heart ain't weak
This was only a tactical retreat
I'm moving on, oh yeah I'm on my feet
What I'm serving up honey, gonna taste so sweet
Always paper and scissors and stones
Always a pawn in a game of thrones
All that's left is the chalk of your bones
On the pavement, on a dead-end road
All you've taken is time
I ain't standing honey, standing in line
I ain't waiting for no change of mind
What's left is mine, oh what's left is mine
All you've taken is time
I ain't standing honey, standing in line
I ain't waiting for no change of mind
What's left is mine, oh what's left is mine
