Ferris Wheel

Verse 1

Wake up, stumble through another day,

Put on a smile and pretend I'm okay.

Everybody's moving, I don't know where,

I'm standing still, but I'm going nowhere.

My head's too loud, my room's too quiet,

I keep telling myself, "Don't start a riot."

I laugh at the things that I probably shouldn't,

Say "I'm doing fine" when I know that I couldn't.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm lost,

Maybe I'm counting the things that I've lost.

Maybe there's something I'm scared to reveal,

Maybe I'm just sick of pretending I'm healed.

Chorus

My life is just a fucking Ferris wheel,

Spinning round and round,

Up and down, left and right.

Can't tell what the fuck is going on.

I kinda wish someone would just turn out the light,

After all, this world is just way too bright.

And then again, I can't force myself to say it,

But I'll gladly acknowledge that I'm a mess.

Verse 2

I keep chasing answers I never can find,

Running in circles inside of my mind.

Every solution just opens a door,

And somehow I'm more confused than before.

I make little jokes so nobody knows,

How heavy it gets when the laughter goes.

I swear I'm okay, yeah, I'll say it again,

Until I almost believe it myself in the end.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm lost,

Maybe I'm scared of what honesty costs.

Maybe there's something I'm scared to reveal,

Maybe I'm just sick of pretending I'm healed.

Chorus

My life is just a fucking Ferris wheel,

Spinning round and round,

Up and down, left and right.

Can't tell what the fuck is going on.

I kinda wish someone would just turn out the light,

After all, this world is just way too bright.

And then again, I can't force myself to say it,

But I'll gladly acknowledge that I'm a mess.

Bridge

Round and round and round I go,

Where I'll land, I never know.

Up so high, then down again,

Same damn ride that never ends.

Maybe someday I'll find the ground,

Maybe someday I'll slow it down.

For tonight, I'll just confess,

I don't have answers.

I'm a mess.

Final Chorus

My life is just a fucking Ferris wheel,

Spinning round and round,

Up and down, left and right.

Can't tell what the fuck is going on.

I kinda wish someone would just turn out the light,

After all, this world is just way too bright.

And maybe someday I'll finally say it,

But for now, I'll gladly acknowledge that I'm a mess.

Outro

Round and round...

I'm still here somehow.

Round and round...

Maybe I'll get off someday.
