[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
