lyrics

I think I’m gonna have to quarantine
maybe for 5 days up to a week
for me to go cold turkey on the fantasy
of procuring pleasure chemically
cos I’m strung out and drunk on dopamine
just a sea of dead eyes dreaming
of a remedy and the hue and the heft of my dream body
never pulling at the reigns, yeah cos I don’t wanna know
When I’m just constructing a higher plateau

This is going to hurt me
and I just can’t dress it up
this shit will probably kill me
but I just cant get enough
of that sweet sweet stuff
That you call my drug
this shit will probably kill me
but I just cant get enough
of that sweet sweet stuff

I blame it on the dopamine
cos I pawned my dress for an infinity screen
and bowed for garlands digitally thrust at me
So call it shrewd or self deceit
but I pay these guys in bitcoin twice a week
just To tell the world I’m still breathing
I’m still relevant, I’m still new
yeah I first shared that meme, buddy
and I’m drooling at the gates, yeah
cos I just gotta know
did you see my snap of virgin mojitos?

This is going to hurt me
and I just can’t dress it up
this shit will probably kill me
but I just cant get enough
of that sweet sweet stuff
That you call my drug
this shit will probably kill me
but I just cant get enough
of that sweet sweet stuff

And in the black of the mirror
I’ll lament what I’ve become
please take me home baby, I'm drunk.
