[Verse 1]

Six months clean off the dopamine

Threw my phone through the wall

My friends can't get a hold of me

Just a dial tone when they call


[Pre-Chorus]

Chills and sweats comin' over me

And I'm aching from the withdrawal

This chemistry has got a hold of me

Got a hold of me, got a hold of me


[Chorus]

I'm a dopamine addict, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, psychosomatic

Stare in the mirror, hide in the attic

Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict

And I feel like I'm out of touch

Keep thinkin' I need that crutch

Keep thinkin' I need that rush

I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, dopamine addict


[Verse 2]

I have these dreams where I'm me again

And they almost feel like they're real

It's as if I have self-esteem again

It's as if I'm starting to heal


[Pre-Chorus]

The chills and sweats grab a hold of me

And they pull me out of my dream

They just won't seem to let go of me

To let go of me, to let go of me


[Chorus]

I'm a dopamine addict, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, psychosomatic

Stare in the mirror, hide in the attic

Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict

And I feel like I'm out of touch

Keep thinkin' I need that crutch

Keep thinkin' I need that rush

I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, dopamine addict


[Bridge]

The cycle is doomed

Recycle, reuse

And then up the potency

The cycle is doomed

Recycle, reuse

It just won't let go of me

Won't let go of me, got a hold of me


[Chorus]

I'm a dopamine addict, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, psychosomatic

Stare in the mirror, hide in the attic

Cry in my bed, I'm a dopamine addict

And I feel like I'm out of touch

Keep thinkin' I need that crutch

Keep thinkin' I need that rush

I just can't break the habit, can't break the habit

Runs in my head, dopamine addict
