[Verse]
“Emotional Roller Coaster"
Written by Elliot J Bush
Verse 1
I wake up with the sunrise burning through my blinds
Another heavy morning with a war inside my mind
One minute I’m flying like I finally broke free
Next minute I’m drowning in the dark that consumed me
I keep smiling for the people passing by
But every little laugh feels like another lie
I’m spinning in circles, can’t find solid ground
Screaming so loud but there’s no one around
Pre-Chorus
Up so high I can touch the sky
Then I crash and burn before I know why
Every turn keeps pulling me apart
This ride is tearing through my heart
Chorus
I’m stuck on this emotional roller coaster
Going faster every day
Can’t get off, can’t slow down
Feel myself fading away
Twisting thoughts inside my head
anger and sadness wrapped around my soul
I keep reaching for the exit sign
But I’m trapped inside this hole of life
And I’m tired… so tired
Of pretending I’m okay
On this emotional roller coaster
That won’t stop anyway
Verse 2
Some nights I stare at the ceiling for hours straight
Wondering if this pain was written into fate
I replay old memories like a broken tape
Trying to find a version of me I can still save
Everybody says “just hold on tight”
But they don’t see the monsters in the middle of the night
I’m climbing every hill with my hands tied down
Laughing through tears like some kind of clown
Pre-Chorus
Round and round till I lose control
Every scar leaves another hole
I’m running but I’m standing still
Fighting battles that never will
Chorus
I’m stuck on this emotional roller coaster
Going faster every day
Can’t get off, can’t slow down
Feel myself fading away
Twisting tracks inside my head
Chains wrapped around my soul
I keep reaching for the exit sign
But I’m trapped inside this hole
Bridge
Maybe someday these rails will break
Maybe someday my heart will wake
Maybe the storm inside my chest
Will finally let me rest
But tonight I’m still holding on
To the pieces of what’s gone
Praying there’s a light ahead
Before this ride leaves me for dead
Final Chorus
I’m stuck on this emotional roller coaster
But I’m still breathing somehow
Even when the whole world shakes
I’m still here right now
And maybe that’s enough tonight
To keep me hanging on
Through every twist and every fall
Until the pain is gone.
