[Verse 1]

Land ahoy

Unmarked territory

Surveying all I see

All this time out at sea, not knowing what I need

Till land I finally breach

My toes find purchase in the sand

Feels like I can finally stand

Success and riches in my hands

One track mind

All this loot and freedom mine

Leave thoughts of choppy seas behind


[Chorus]

This is my only happy place

This is where I rest my case

All accomplishments

All achievements here for me to grind

It's all in one convenient place

Take and leave without a trace

All I see and everything

Dopamine is now mine


[Verse 2]

Even in this pixel plane

Sometimes I can't fight the pain

Like an itching in my brain


[Pre-Chorus]

So I take a little potion that makes me feel alright

A real life cheat code that gets me to the end of the night

And though this cave entices me with gleaming flecks of light

I know that what I'm buying is someday coming back to bite

But right now I don't mind

No I don't mind


[Chorus]

This is my only happy place

This is where I rest my case

All accomplishments

All achievements here for me to grind

It's all in one convenient place

Take and leave without a trace

All I see and everything

Dopamine is now...


[Bridge]

No matter how deep I go

I bring a vial with me

Storm water's nagging memory

I am one with the machine

But I'm in present company

There are thousands just like me

And everything I think

And everything I feel

Is a quest for some reprieve

In a dungeon of my thoughts

Trying to dig my way out

But I'm buried way too deep
