Dopamine Machine

[Verse 1]
Doctor gave me candy in a little orange case,
Said it’d help me focus, help me win the race.
Started like a rocket, flying way too high,
Didn’t see the landing, didn’t ask why.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every pill was lightning, every thought was clean,
Productivity was sexy like a movie scene.
But the higher that I’m climbing, the smaller I get—
Now I’m married to a habit I’ll never forget.

[Chorus]
Adderall, alcohol,
Spin me up and watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m running on a dopamine machine,
Feels so right ’til I rip the seams.
Adderall, alcohol,
Built me up and burned it all.
Party in my head I can’t leave behind—
This is what it’s like when you sell your mind.

[Verse 2]
Whiskey on the nightstand, bourbon by the bed,
Only way to shut down all the voices in my head.
Told myself I’d quit it when I hit 23,
Now I’m buying futures from a dealer down the street.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it made me sharper, then it cut me deep,
Gave away my dreams just to lose my sleep.
I was promised I’d be better, promised I’d be free—
But the chains are lookin’ shiny when they sparkle at me.

[Chorus]
Adderall, alcohol,
Spin me up and watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m running on a dopamine machine,
Feels so right ’til I rip the seams.
Adderall, alcohol,
Built me up and burned it all.
Party in my head I can’t leave behind—
This is what it’s like when you sell your mind.

[Bridge]
Ooo, I thought I was the pilot—
Ooo, but I’m just autopilot.
Ooo, yeah the truth is mean:
Pretty little pill, ugly little dream.

[Breakdown / Chant]
Up all night, can’t stop, can’t quit,
Pour another glass, take another hit.
Up all night, yeah I sold my soul,
For a two-tone high and a black hole low.

[Final Chorus – Reprise]
Adderall, alcohol,
Spin me up and watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m stuck in a dopamine routine,
Highs so bright but the cracks unseen.

[Outro – Chant]
Pour it up, line it up, round and round we go,
Say I’ll quit tomorrow but tomorrow says no.
Adderall, alcohol, tell me I’m fine—
Party in my head I can’t leave behind.
