The stove turns on
I turn it off
But the water keeps
Getting hot
Life gets tough
I fix what's wrong
But that's not enough
Once it starts it doesn't stop
It's a lifelong ride
That I can't get off
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
Hold on
My body's free
My thoughts are stuck
In the front row seat
And once it starts it doesn't stop
The rock rolls down
It's like a top
It goes spinning 'round
Just to stand straight up
How it takes your all
Just to not screw up
Then the bomb goes off
Once it starts it doesn't stop
How lucky am I
With how unlucky I am
To be where I am now
And be the way I am
The best among the worst
The pebble in the sand
The best of all my peers
And the worst of all my friends
It's a lifelong ride
That I can't get off
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
Hold on
My body's free
My thoughts are stuck
In the front row seat
And once it starts it doesn't really stop
I turn it off
But the water keeps
Getting hot
Life gets tough
I fix what's wrong
But that's not enough
Once it starts it doesn't stop
It's a lifelong ride
That I can't get off
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
Hold on
My body's free
My thoughts are stuck
In the front row seat
And once it starts it doesn't stop
The rock rolls down
It's like a top
It goes spinning 'round
Just to stand straight up
How it takes your all
Just to not screw up
Then the bomb goes off
Once it starts it doesn't stop
How lucky am I
With how unlucky I am
To be where I am now
And be the way I am
The best among the worst
The pebble in the sand
The best of all my peers
And the worst of all my friends
It's a lifelong ride
That I can't get off
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
Hold on
My body's free
My thoughts are stuck
In the front row seat
And once it starts it doesn't really stop
