[Intro]
Teacup heartbeat
Spilling again
Candy-wrapped secrets
Sharp under the skin (oh)
[Verse 1]
Got a brain like a thrift store
Everything’s scattered in piles
Little joy in a cracked jar
Labeled “use once in a while”
I keep taping my thoughts up
With receipts from a year ago
All the bargains I made with myself
Cost more than you’ll ever know
Scroll through my moods like a playlist
Shuffle hits all the worst tracks
Every smile is a screen glitch
Every hug has a collapse
You say
“breathe
It’s a bad night”
I say
“breathe
This is baseline”
You get dizzy from the low tide
I’ve been drowning my whole life
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a funhouse mirror
Baby
All your love comes out warped on me
You keep shining like it’s daytime
Inside my midnight movie
[Chorus]
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
High then breaking on the floor
Laughing while the colors smear
Crying in the bathroom door
Ride me till the paint chips off
I’ll say “I’m fine” and mean “I’m not”
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
Click-clack heart
Then sudden drop
[Verse 2]
Got a mind like a speedrun
Skipping cutscenes
Missing clues
Turn my phone to an offramp
Still take the scenic doom
Turn my pills into planets
Line them up by the sink
Orbit slow round the “what if”
Till I forget how to blink
Turn my fears into soap foam
Stack them high
Watch them tower
Every bubble a faint “no”
Floating up
Losing power
You say
“love
You’re dramatic”
I say
“love
I’m just loud pain”
You see thunder as a warning
I’ve been living in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a check engine light
Baby
Glowing red
Then going dim
You keep driving through the backroads
I keep stalling deep within
[Chorus]
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
High then breaking on the floor
Laughing while the colors smear
Crying in the bathroom door
Ride me till the paint chips off
I’ll say “I’m fine” and mean “I’m not”
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
Click-clack heart
Then sudden drop
[Post-Chorus]
Up fast
Down slow
Can’t tell you which way I’ll go
Hold tight
Let go
I’m the bruise under your glow (hey)
[Verse 3]
Got a soul like a mixtape
Every track from a different life
Tiny choir in a tin can
Singing “maybe you’ll be alright”
I keep folding my bad days
Into cranes for the windowpane
When they finally learn flying
Hope they carry off my shame
Turn my rage into roadside
Wildflowers nobody picked
Bloom and wilt in a looped sky
Petals fall
Then they re-stick
You say
“baby
You’re endless”
I say
“yeah
That’s half the scare”
If I feel this much forever
Will there be anything spare?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a carnival at midnight
Lights too bright for how I ache
You buy tickets for my chaos
Then act stunned I start to shake
[Chorus]
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
High then breaking on the floor
Laughing while the colors smear
Crying in the bathroom door
Ride me till the paint chips off
I’ll say “I’m fine” and mean “I’m not”
I’m a porcelain rollercoaster
Click-clack heart
Then sudden drop
[Bridge]
Fast lane halo
Wobbling over my head
Saint of almost
Patron of unmade beds
I make promises in cursive
They all blur when I run
Turn apologies to confetti
Rain them down
Then call it fun (oh yeah)
I’m the punchline at the party
Telling jokes in borrowed teeth
Everyone says I’m the sunshine
They don’t see the burnt-out street
I’m the caption on the breakdown
That
