DOPAMINE

Hit ‘em with a little bit of dopamine to keep em lookin’

Every second, they’ll be second guessing, trying to meet the

Expectation of the age of information, the simulation

Will be so convincing, they’ll forget that they’re alive

 

What have I missed since I last checked my phone?

My god, that must have been ten minutes ago!

 

Ever seeing, but not perceiving

Ever hearing, but never understanding

 

I can feel it slipping away

My grip on reality’s down to a couple fingers

Living like I’m running a race, though I’ve my doubts

Anyone’s gonna come out the winner

 

Wake up and break yourself outta here

Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears

Stop believing and telling the lie

Why don’t you look your life in the eye?

 

Show a video of a corgi wearing a knitted sweater

Then an advertisement for a pair of shoes that look much better

Than the fourteen they already have, besides they’re vegan leather

They’ll be so delighted they’ll forget that they’re alive

 

What have I missed since I last checked my phone?

My god, that must have been ten minutes ago!

 

Ever seeing, but not perceiving

Ever hearing, but never understanding

 

Giving pieces of me away

My death comes by a thousand cuts, and I paid for the knife

Bleeding for a way to escape my ball and chain

The fatal clutches of father screen time

 

Wake up and break yourself outta here

Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears

Stop believing and telling the lie

Why don’t you look your life in the eye?

 

Wake up and break yourself outta here

Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears

Stop believing and telling the lie

Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
