What Scatterbrain Symphony is about

A celebration of the scattered mind — the beauty and chaos of thinking in seventeen directions at once.

Verse 1
Mind's a pinball lighting the arcade
Ideas pop like fireworks and then they fade
Laundry's in the fridge oh
What a move I played
Oops forgot the eggs again
I guess it’s homemade
Chorus
Oh I’m a scatterbrain symphony
Lost in my own energy
Zebra print socks on a chicken dance spree
ADHD ain't a flaw
It’s just me being me
Verse 2
Went to grab coffee ended up in a thrift shop
Meant to hang the painting now it’s a Pinterest flop
Found an old mixtape played it till the music stopped
Plans got twenty tabs open but none of them ever swap
Chorus
Oh I’m a scatterbrain symphony
Lost in my own energy
Sinking my to-do’s with an epic sound spree
ADHD ain't a curse
It’s just my melody
Bridge
I’m my own tornado spinning fast then I slow
Laughing on the floor forgetting what I know
Life’s a coloring book I color outside the lines
Quirky chaotic hilarious it’s mine
Verse 3
Tried to clean the desk but I made it a fort
Turned a playlist on now I’ve out-sung Sherwood Forest
Forgot the meeting went rogue with a scooter report
But who else could come up with this brainstorm sport
