[Verse 1]

Spinning wheels of impulse, chasing flickers in the night

Pull the lever, craving sparks to keep the mind alight

Scattered moments, jumping tracks, never holding pace

In pursuit of subtle rushes, running endless, losing grace

My reflection broken mirrors, shifting shapes of focus gone

Whispered promises to pause, but the game's forever on

Chasing tokens of attention, yet always wanting more

Senses sharpened, quickly dulled, boredom knocking at the door


[Hook]

I'm playing dopamine roulette, betting minutes, betting days

Winning seconds, losing hours in distraction's endless maze

Colors spinning wildly, chasing highs I soon forget

Every round seductive danger - dopamine roulette


[Verse 2]

Each decision blurred with static, weighted dice inside my head

Confidence a fleeting gamble, risked on whims that quickly fled

Restless thoughts unravel neatly woven careful plans

Jumping circuits, tangled wires, ambitions slipping through my hands

Losing patience in the quiet, craving chaos to feel alive

Peace a distant stranger, still unsure how to survive

Seeking silence in explosions, meaning hidden in the noise

Controlled by inner rhythms, restlessness the subtle voice


[Hook]

I'm playing dopamine roulette, betting minutes, betting days

Winning seconds, losing hours in distraction's endless maze

Colors spinning wildly, chasing highs I soon forget

Every round seductive danger - dopamine roulette

[Verse 3] (Flow Switch)

Running and gunning and jumping the wire, desires are burning, I’m lost in the fire

Tripping, I'm slipping, my grip getting weaker, the frequency peaking, I'm tweaking the dial

Staggering rhythms, my vision is bending, signals repeating, my head fully drowned

Racing and pacing, my sanity chasing, but silence is screaming - it's getting too loud


[Bridge]

Promise that tomorrow I'll find steadiness and calm

Yet every sunrise finds me holding storms within my palm

Addicted to beginnings, chasing novelty’s sweet lie

Consequence forgotten, dancing freely near the fire


[Outro]

Spin again, the cycle calls, seduction in the spin

Joy and pain entwined in games that no one ever wins

Chasing peace through chaos, each bet placed without regret

Forever spinning wildly, lost in dopamine roulette
