yeah… yeah… used to love rollercoasters as a kid
now I’m lookin’ for the safety inspection papers…
Used to throw my hands up high when the track took dips
Now I grip my own wrists when the mood shit flips
Click-click-climb, stomach tight, here we go again
Fake smiles at the gate like “admit one friend”
Everybody loves the rise, nobody talks brakes
Nobody talks neck strain, blackouts, heart shakes
Nobody says adulthood kills amusement parks
When you realize every thrill leaves electrical marks
You call it passion, I call it altitude abuse
Yankin’ my nervous system around till the screws come loose
One minute “baby, you’re magic,” next minute radio silence
Now I’m shadowboxing ghosts in emotional violence
And the drop comes quick… like GODDAMN
No warning lights No harness click Just— gravity pickin’ favorites again
Rollercoasters ain’t fun when you’re grown now
No lap bar holdin’ me down now
Everybody screamin’ like the fear’s the best part
I just wanna know when the whole ride falls apart
Up-down jerk-stop heart lock rail rot
You call this love? This feels like whiplash in a parking lot
I can smell the grease and the rust in the rain
Hear the old ride operator mispronounce my pain
“Keep your arms inside the vehicle please” Meanwhile my soul got dragged thirty feet through the trees
And I’m tired… SO tired… Of emotional elevation changes One day sunshine Next day vacant faces
I don’t even like heights but I climb in still
Like maybe THIS ride won’t try to kill What little bit of peace I finally built But the safety bar’s gone and the floorboards tilt
Everybody says: “LET GO” “LIVE A LITTLE” “LOVE’S A RISK”
Yeah? So’s head trauma.
Rollercoasters ain’t magic when the bolts come loose
When your chest learns fear from somebody you choose
Round and round and around I go Still payin’ full price for another low blow
No lap bar No ground Just another pretty light breakin’ down…




Wow what a.. rollercoaster. Seriously though that was amazing. It’s hard for me to keep stories that long. Bravo lady. Interesting from start to finish. Loved it.
love it
