Dopamine

By Emery

You live rent-free in my head

The medications haven't fixed me yet

You are me and I am you

The Church of the crash and burned is truth

Just let me go, just let me go, Toby

Let me go, just let me go, dad

Let me go, just let me go, mom, please

Let me go before I'm dead

It's the heat on my feet from the summer sidewalk

Stealing toothpaste and packs of gum from the grocery storе

It's the second Miller at Happy Hour at Bad Bar

And dropping acid on my bеdroom floor

My body needs these dopamine hits, hits, hits

I'm tired and exhausted, but I won't quit

I have to get my shit together

A world of you inside my head

The words we used I can't forget

I know I shouldn't share the lore

What was all the fighting for?

Just let me go, just let me go, Toby

Let me go, just let me go, dad

Let me go, just let me go, mom, please

Let me go before I'm dead

It's the heat on my feet from the summer sidewalk

Stealing toothpaste and packs of gum from the grocery store

It's the second Miller at Happy Hour at Bad Bar

And dropping acid on my bedroom floor

My body needs these dopamine hits, hits, hits

I'm tired and exhausted, but I won't quit

I have to get my shit together

I wanted to write

The last two lines

Of the book

I'll never start

So here it is

Just so I know

I tried

It was as if

It was only a moment

And maybe it was, and not more than that

She needed to live through it

See it happen

Now was the rest of what was left to find

My body needs these dopamine hits

I'm tired and exhausted, but I won't quit

I have to get my shit together
