[Intro]
[Atmospheric vinyl crackle]
[Sound of a pen clicking rapidly]
[Muffled voice: "Wait, where did I put my… never mind."]
[Verse 1]
The morning’s cold, the mood is set
I’m winning arguments I haven't even had yet
I sat down to write a masterpiece, or maybe just a list
But I found a cool rock in my pocket I forgot existed
Checked the time, it’s 2 PM—actually, wait, it’s four
I’m researching the history of the Victorian swinging door
It’s essential information, yeah, it’s vital to the craft
I’ve got forty open windows and they’re all a rolling draft
[Chorus]
[Catchy melodic loop]
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
Lo-fi beats to study to, or stare at the wall
I’m a productivity king until I hear the siren call
Of a Wikipedia rabbit hole about a flightless bird
I’m the most focused person that you’ve never actually heard
[Spoken: "Yeah, I’m locked in."]
[Pause]
[Whispered: "Wait, did I lock the front door?"]
[Verse 2]
My brain is like a browser with a hundred noisy tabs
And I can't find the one that’s playing "Jazz for Labs"
I’ve got three half-finished hobbies in a pile on the floor
And a brand new set of oil paints arriving at the door
Irony is planning out my life in thirty-minute blocks
Then spending sixty minutes searching for my matching socks
I’m a high-speed processor running on a dial-up speed
I’ve got everything I want, except the thing I actually need
[Bridge]
[Music slows, dreamy Rhodes piano solo]
They say "just get a planner," like I don't have twenty-five
Full of empty Januarys where I felt so alive
I’m a visionary, really, just a little bit displaced
I’ve got the spirit of a marathon in a five-foot space
[Chorus]
[Catchy melodic loop]
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
Lo-fi beats to study to, or stare at the wall
I’m a productivity king until I hear the siren call
[Outro]
The lo-fi’s looping, the sun is going down
I’m the most accomplished "almost" in this whole entire town
I’ll finish this tomorrow… or in twenty minutes' time
Wait, what was the prompt again? Did I even make it rhyme?
[Catchy melodic loop fades]
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
My ADHD is killing me, killing me
[Sound of a pencil dropping]
[Muffled voice: "Oh, look, a moth."]
[End]
