I’ve been here before

The pain is no less strong
A never ending circle
But the music’s not as sweet
The first time I survived the ride
And it just kept on going around
I almost slipped off a few times
I held on as the force grew stronger
The music causes pain now
The horses’ tarnished and dull
Why do I still want to ride
When the music has stopped.
