Dopamine Drunkard

How the hell can you keep that smile on your face
How don't you feel seasick spinning on this ball of trash in space
It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter how you sing
The clock is grinning, watching you, erasing everything

Why can't we be mayflies who appreciate just being
Why can't we be mayflies? Holy shit, that must be freeing

And how can you stand it? What keeps you alive
Is it the occasional bright spot or the struggle to survive
Do you not see the truth or do you just forget it
Do you say: "Time won't speed up if I don't fucking let it"

And if I'm a mayfly, tell me, what is there to gain
One day in the sunlight? Hell, what if it rains
And if I ask for a rain check, have I lost my single chance
To go spiraling round and round and round at the meaningless dance?

But when I come back down
I realize I'll be empty when I'm gone
And you'll have felt complete
I can't love or be loved while this shanty drones on
