My Darling Dopamine

When everything seems all sped up

And you can't clear your mind

Your palms are all sweaty

Though try as you might

You just can't catch your breath

And you're certain you're going to die

When reality folds in on itself

You're the exemplary blueprint of poor mental health

There's only so much that one mind can take

Sometimes life's overwhelming we need an escape

Oh, my darling dopamine

Does the reward outweigh the risk?

Well I'm on the fence

Is a numbing normalcy on tap

Worth a week trembling and sick

But every time

I tell myself's the last

'Cause goddamn the price is high

To rot in comfort

This grueling routine I've succumb to

Has grown so fucking old

I just want out

Another day and one less dollar

One more year we soaked in beer

And were content to live in squalor

Just so long as we can cheers

To one more lesson we've forgotten

Once again we've gotten rotten drunk

This time we really fucked it up

So far beyond repair

It's a tough thing to realize you're only a blip

We rely on the comforts

We smoke and we sip

In the grand scheme it seems that

The point of existing is trying our best to forget

Oh, my darling dopamine

Does the reward outweigh the risk?

Well I'm on the fence

Is a numbing normalcy on tap

Worth a week trembling and sick

And every time

I tell myself's the last

'Cause goddamn the price is high

To rot in comfort

This grueling routine I've succumb to

Has grown so fucking old

I just want out

Oh, my darling dopamine

Does the reward outweigh the risk?

I'm on the fence

Is a numbing normalcy on tap

Worth a week trembling and sick?

And every time

I tell myself's the last

'Cause goddamn the price is high

To rot in comfort

This grueling routine I've succumb to

Has grown so fucking old

I just want out
