Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
No, I don't go to parties
I'm California sober and I'm lame
I'm too sad for that setting
I'm boring and I wouldn't change a
Thing, thing
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
My speech is slurring lately
I know it's a slippery slope
I thought it would cure me
I thought it would maybe help me cope
[PreChorus]
But nope, I'm addicted to feeling numb
I choke up when I think of the things I could've
Done, done instead
Oh
[Chorus]
I crave that rise in dopamine
So much I may throw my brain away
Just to get so high I feel
Nothing again, till I pop another the next day
And let the thoughts all fade away
My memory is leaving me
I'll fade to nothing at this rate
[Refrain]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 3]
Not a social smoker
Not a social person, first of all
Not a happy stoner
I lay there like a five-foot tall rag doll
Doll, doll
Oh, oh
[Verse 4]
I know that I'll regret it
I'll regret it
Hours every day just playing dead
Morning resurrected
Resurrected
A zombie rising from a dirty bed
[PreChorus]
And yet, I ignore my declining health
My self is an unrecognizable
Silhouette, silhouette
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
I crave that rise in dopamine
So much I may throw my brain away
Just to get so high I feel
Nothing again, till I pop another the next day
And let the thoughts all fade away
My memory is leaving me
I'll fade to nothing at this rate
[Refrain]
Oh
Too late to stop, I'm really not sure how
Oh
Give it a shot, you're all that you've got now
Oh
Too late to stop, I'm really not sure how
Oh
Give it a shot, you're all that you've got now
[Bridge]
That leaf might as well be pomegranate seeds
The past years were hell, now it's purgatory
With nobody to blame this time, except for me
[Chorus]
But I crave that rise in dopamine
So much I may throw my brain away
Just to get so high I feel
Nothing again, till I pop another the next day
And let the thoughts all fade away
My memory is leaving me
I'll fade to nothing at this rate
[Outro]
Fade to nothing at this rate
