Observe the 93rd - Dopamine Lyrics

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

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
