There’s gotta be a twisted part of me that enjoys the roller coaster
I don’t wake up in a bed
My blankets are a puddle of sweat
The wall is a canopy
The grass is my family
Never trust a man who speaks in absolutes
And if you’re gonna jump out a plain, bring your parachute
I think it’d feel good to fly, I think about it all the time
Stop
Wait a second
Think about
What you’re sayin'
Nah that ain't my style
It hasn’t been for a while
Does anyone still think about what they’re sayin’
Does anyone still care about the games they’re playin’
Does anyone else wanna see a brand new world, across the sea
I know it feels good to talk and forget all about the clock
That slowly ticks your life away, don’t tell me that you aren’t afraid
Cause I am I’ve been that way
Every since I was old enough to say
Help without any shame
Cause I know were all part of the same game
And if you’re really fine, I applaud you
Appreciate that shit, appreciate whats been given to you
I know what you’re thinking, its not a gift its a mindset
But some of us would do anything to hit reset
__________
There’s gotta be a twisted part of me that enjoys the roller coaster
Why else would I be riding it
__________
They say pain is temporary
But success? It’s also temporary
We all go through
Phases where we feel new
But like I said, its just a phase
It’s just a fad that lasts a couple days,
and when it ends you’ll see yourself, your most important friend
Drowning in the ocean
Like a movie playing in slow motion
You’ll stand there on the shore
Watching as you lose this war
And once again you’ve failed your own plan
But I guess that's what its like to have an addiction man
