I was a fiend for dopamine But sometimes what you really need Is to Take on what you tried to escape We evolve by outliving our pain I was a fiend for dopamine My self-esteem collapsed and begged on it's knees The lonely a.m. greets the glow of a screen I fantasize for a temporary high It's not enough I make a post and get a hit from each like But I'm Still lost and I'm spiraling down Sliver of death so I can forget the sound Of my Quiet agony I was a fiend for dopamine But sometimes what you really need Is to Eyes ascend Eyes ascend The unaddressed can turn a mind obsessed A night well-dressed won't tear the pain from within And the shallow caress of strangers' flesh is overwhelming in it's emptiness All the subtle ways we try to distract But it won't bring the past back or resolve what has passed Isn't that what this is all about We watch our old lives fall away and then we desperately reach out I was a fiend for dopamine But sometimes what you really need Is to Take on what you tried to escape We evolve by outliving our pain I was a fiend for dopamine I was a fiend for dopamine I was a fiend for dopamine
