Ian Taylor - Ferris Wheel Lyrics

It's hard to write out what I feel,

When I, I just cannot tell what is real.

No I'm, sittin on this ferris wheel,

Goin round in circles. It has some appeal, Yea, yea,


At least I know what to expect. To reflect.

When I have to, how to circumvent.

To reject. To push to keep from that regret.

I ain't tryin to get hurt again,


Got a few who call me friend, I ain't needing more.

Tell ya man with me and life it ain't an even score.

No I've scored a couple points but life got even more.

Always get myself run over when I'm needin force.


Don't give me the torch, I can't hold that. I ain't got the strength today.

Take away this shame and these Greyer shades.

Fade away, blowin smoke above the paper tray.

Break from pain...

Please, please..


Take Take Take away this pressure.

I'm barely holding on. I'm drifting round these circles.

I just need a breath to take another.

I'm stuck here and I wonder if i'll ever get away from this ferris wheel.



It's hard to write out what I feel.

When I, I just cannot tell what is real.

No I'm sittin on this ferris wheel,

Goin round in circles it has some appeal. Yuh,

It's hard to write out what I feel,

When I, I just cannot tell what is real.

So I'm sittin on this ferris wheel,

Hopin me and life can go and make a deal, yea yea


I can see my house from here.

F*ck it, I could see my life from here.

I'm a couple thousand miles in the atmosphere,

Workin out my problems I find that appear. Look,


I don't like my 9-5,

But I know it is how I survive.

Yea I've clock myself in bout a million times,

Workin overtime, 10-9's.

Never energized, still I've written lines.


What I'm sayin is I'm tryin,

Even though I may not like it,

The point is I'm surviving.

That the point of life surviving?

Rollin with the punches? Listening to bosses?

Never ending grindin?

Paycheck only buyin, enough to feed the kids and pay the bills is that providing?

Not for me. I refuse to go anywhere but All out g.

Catch me flying off the balcony, it's too late.


Take Take Take away this pressure.

I'm barely holding on. I'm drifting round these circles.

I just need a breath to take another.

I'm stuck here and I wonder if i'll ever get away from this ferris wheel.



It's hard to write out what I feel.

When I, I just cannot tell what is real.

No I'm sittin on this ferris wheel,

Goin round in circles it has some appeal. Yuh,

It's hard to write out what I feel,

When I, I just cannot tell what is real.

So I'm sittin on this ferris wheel,

Hopin me and life can go and make a deal, yea yea



Take take take away this pressure,

Or it'll stay forever, and follow my endeavours.

I'm holdin on, but by a thread.

These demons in my head,

They're swimming through my thoughts until I've lost em or I'm dead. Look


I don't know what the other side is.

All I know is I don't want to find it,

Till I'm ready and I'm betting I get me to somewhere better than I been.

Just gotta come and find it. Gotta come with fight in my chest,

And rise with the tide and slide in with time think I'll win.
The deep end, dive in. In time I'm rising to the surface.

I just gotta rehearse it, look


Take Take Take away this pressure.

I'm barely holding on. I'm drifting round these circles.

I just need a breath to take another.

I'm stuck here and I wonder if i'll ever get away from this ferris wheel.
