Receipt Void (System Backup) Electro Swing
**(Verse 1)** I check the folder, I check the desk Follow the note, but I’m unimpressed It says right here: *“I put it right here”* Clear text, clear date, but it disappeared Tax form waiting, the clock ticks loud Searching through paper, searching through a cloud I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget Now the page is empty, and I’m breaking a sweat **(Pre-Chorus)** Where’s the paper? Where’s the paper? Did I do it now? Did I do it later? I trace my steps back, I try to rewind Nothing is loading inside of my mind **(Chorus)** Black hole in my head, totally blank Like I wiped the memory, robbed the bank The receipt is gone, the signal is dead Just a sudden void where the thought was bred Because my brain moved on, switched off the track And once I’m in the new world, I can’t go back! **(Verse 2)** Now I’m three miles deep in a brand new zone Locked in a hyperfocus, glued to my phone Fixating hard on a different topic Everything else is microscopic Was I doing taxes? Was I filing proof? Feels like a story that was never the truth It’s like yesterday never even existed My entire reality just got twisted **(Bridge)** [Fast tempo – building frustration] Search the drawer – nope. Search the rack – nope. Check the coat pocket – zero hope. I wrote a note to my future self, And my future self put the note on a shelf, And now I’m standing right here in the dark— [Music abruptly cuts / Record scratch] Wait… stop wasting time. I read a rule online, years ago in my mind: *If it’s lost, don’t spiral, don’t tear down the frame,* *Find an alternative route to the game!* **(Breakdown / Beat Drops Back In - Triumphant Synth)** I pull out my phone, unlock the screen The cleanest hack that you’ve ever seen Because I know my brain, I know the drill I snapped a photo before the chill! ADHD trap? I bypassed the flaw Digital backup, standard law! **(Chorus)** Black hole in my head, but I outplayed the blank! Saved by the cloud, taking that to the bank! The paper is gone, but the data is live That’s the only way a brain like mine can survive! My mind moved on, switched off the track But I built a system, so I got my own back! **(Outro)** [Upbeat synth melody] Alternative route. Saved to the drive. Tax form done. Now… back to what I was actually fixating on. [Abrupt stop]
