Roller Coaster of Being Home

(Vibe: “Roller Coaster” — emotional ups/downs; twist: PTSD highs & lows)Tone: Raw, relatable, emotional momentum**
Verse 1
One day I’m laughing like the old me’s back,Next day I’m drowning in a panic attack.Some mornings coffee tastes like peace,Others I’m shaking, begging for release.Healing ain’t linear—hell, it’s a ride,Like strapping into fear with no place to hide.One moment calm, next moment wild—A soldier’s heart ain’t ever mild.
Verse 2
My girl holds on through every jump,Every turn that drops us into a slump.Says, “Baby, breathe, you’re not alone,”Even when my mind turns flesh to stone.Some nights memories slam me hard,Like coaster rails hijacking my guard.But she’s my seatbelt in this war—Keeps me grounded at the core.
Pre-Chorus
Healing ain’t smooth—But love keeps groove.
Chorus
It’s a roller coaster of being home,Highs so sweet, lows that roam.But I’m strapped in with someone strong,Holding me steady where I belong.Yeah, it’s chaos—yet somehow known,This roller coasterOf being home.
Bridge
Even the drops can feel like flightIf someone holds you through the night.
