The Dopamine Auction

V6

[Intro: Broken beats, pitched voices] Want it, want it, want it Already imagining it [Verse 1] I can calculate the outcome I can see the future cost I can make a flawless argument For why this should be stopped Then a tiny little feeling Starts conducting my attention And the logic I assembled Loses every intervention [Pre-Chorus: Acceleration] Anticipation! Instant celebration! Temporary elevation! [Chorus: Infectious syncopated hook] Going once, going twice Selling reason for delight I know better, I know better But the wanting feels so right What a marvelous sensation What a miserable design I keep purchasing a feeling That expires every time [Verse 2] It's not even what I'm getting It's the possibility For a second I can purchase An imaginary version of me [Bridge: Glitch percussion collapses] (You deserve it) (You can stop it) (Just this once) You said that yesterday [Final Chorus: Furious bass counterpoint] Going once, going twice Every thrill has got a price I know better, I know better Still the wanting feels alive [Outro: Toy piano] Sold Again
