Dopamine - The Infested

Life won’t satisfy, when you’re always on a high

Brain plasticity warped and numb

Social zombie, that was I

Dopamine overload each day

Simple pleasures taken away

Persona and charisma deleted

Energy levels depleted

Dopamine, you and me

Sing together in harmony

You and I, until I die

You’re always in the back of my mind

I think I’m going insane

Rewired my adolescent brain

Peeling the guilt once I’d done

Ashamed of what I’d become

A worthless existnce of man

It wasn’t part of the plan

Wher was my drive and my smile?

No eye contact for a while

No instinct to engage

My brain was lazy this way

The buzz I feel, when it ain’t real

Neuropathways, will you ever heal?

Happiness relied on one source

Getting that fix once indoors

A secret substance abuse

I really had no excuse

A filthy pastime when it started

I was young and the risks weren’t highlighted

Moderation is key and I had none

I swapped reality for fantasy
