In “Gateway Drug,” Daniel Seavey uses addictive metaphors to illustrate the intensity and overwhelming nature of a love that becomes all-consuming.

[Verse 1]
You thought you knew love
But love was a liar
You thought you knew sex
I'll set it on fire (Oh)
You thought you got high, oh
But I'll get you higher, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause your ex was just a gateway drug
Your ex was just a gateway drug
[Chorus]
I'll be your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, baby, I got what you need
I'll be your Adderall, your morphine
Just face it, baby, I'll get you addicted to me
[Verse 2]
I'll color your sky
Blood orange and violet
Chemical weight
Pulls down on your eyelids (Haha)
You thought you got high, baby, I can't lie, no
I'll send you flyin'
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause your ex was just a gateway drug (Your ex was just a gateway)
Your ex was just a gateway drug
[Chorus]
I'll be your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, baby, I got what you need
I'll be your Adderall, your morphine
Just face it, baby, I'll get you addicted to me
I'll be your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, baby, I got what you need
I'll be your Adderall, your morphine
Just face it, baby, I'll get you addicted to me
[Bridge]
(I'll be your everything, your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, call the plug, baby, I got what you need)
'Cause your ex was just a gateway drug (Your ex was just a gateway)
Your ex was just a gateway drug (Oh)
[Chorus]
I'll be your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, baby, I got what you need
I'll be your Adderall, your morphine, uh
Just face it, baby, I'll get you addicted to me
I'll be your everything, your nicotine, uh
Don't call the plug, baby, yeah, I got what you need
I'll be your Adderall, your morphine, uh (Your morphine)
Just face it, baby, I'll get you addic-d-d-d-dicted to me
[Outro]
I'll be your everything, your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, don't call the plug, 'cause baby, I got what you need
I'll be your everything, your everything, your nicotine
Don't call the plug, don't call the plug, 'cause baby, I got what you need
