[Intro - bright glitch synth hook, bouncy guitar, skittering trap drums, no vocals] [Verse 1 - fast playful female shout-rap, bouncy restless delivery] OPEN MAIL, HIT REPLY, "HEY, THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME—" WAIT, WHY'S THERE A LITTLE NUMBER ON ANOTHER TAB I HAVEN'T SEEN? CLICK IT ONCE, JUST CHECK IT QUICK, OH THAT'S INTERESTING AS SHIT, OPEN LINK, NEW ARTICLE, READ THE TITLE— WHAT WAS I DOING? EMAIL! RIGHT! GO BACK AGAIN, CURSOR BLINKING, SENTENCE SITTING HALF ALIVE, TYPE THREE WORDS, THEN RANDOMLY REMEMBER THERE'S A PACKAGE DUE AT FIVE, CHECK THE TRACKING, OUT FOR DELIVERY, GREAT, THAT TOOK LIKE TEN SECONDS FLAT— WEATHER TOMORROW! WHY THE FUCK DID I CLICK THAT? [Pre-Chorus - sugary melodic female vocals, jittery rhythm] Hold that thought! Don't let go! Where it went I do not know! Had one job! Nice and small! Now I've somehow lost it all! [Chorus - ridiculously cheerful bubblegum female vocals] My attention span has left the building! Didn't say goodbye! I was doing something important— Probably! I don't know why! My attention span has left the building! If you see it, send it home! I had one tiny thing to finish Now I've got twelve tabs open! [Verse 2 - quick bratty female shout-rap, playful melodic switches] BACK TO EMAIL, CLOSE THE WEATHER, CLOSE THE ARTICLE, CLOSE THE STORE— WHY'S THE STORE OPEN? WHEN THE FUCK DID I GO SHOPPING? WHAT'S THIS SHIT EVEN IN MY CART FOR? NO, DON'T LOOK, WE KNOW THIS STORY, CLOSE IT DOWN AND WRITE THE MAIL, "HEY, THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME, I JUST WANTED TO—" TEA! OH RIGHT! GET UP, WALK INTO THE KITCHEN, FILL THE KETTLE, PRESS THE SWITCH, SEE A CUP BESIDE THE SINK AND THINK I SHOULD PROBABLY WASH THIS SHIT, WASH THE CUP, WIPE THE COUNTER, NOTICE SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR, PICK IT UP, WALK TO THE BEDROOM— WHY THE FUCK AM I IN HERE FOR? [Chorus - bright layered female vocals, bouncing guitars] My attention span has left the building! Didn't leave a forwarding note! Every thought becomes another Tiny fucking rabbit hole! My attention span has left the building! Maybe it'll wander home! Till then I'll be in the kitchen Wondering why I'm holding soap! [Glitch Break - chopped synth rhythm, playful bass, twitchy guitar stabs, rapid drum switches] [Verse 3 - increasingly fast female shout-rap, thoughts colliding] BACK TO KITCHEN, KETTLE'S BOILING, GREAT, WE FINISHED SOMETHING—WAIT, TEA BAG, MUG, MILK, LITTLE SPOON, WHY'S THE CLOCK SAY HALF PAST EIGHT? DID I EAT? YEAH, PROBABLY, DON'T START ANOTHER FUCKING QUEST, TAKE THE TEA BACK TO THE LAPTOP, SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, DO THE REST EMAIL OPEN HOLY SHIT THE SAME FOUR WORDS ARE SITTING THERE FORTY MINUTES HAVE ELAPSED AND I HAVE SOMEHOW DONE FUCK-ALL— NO THAT'S NOT FAIR I CLEANED A CUP, I CHECKED THE WEATHER, TRACKED A BOX AND MADE SOME TEA, LEARNED A USELESS LITTLE FACT ABOUT A THING I'LL NEVER NEED, FOUND THAT THING I LOST ON TUESDAY, WATERED SOMETHING ON THE WAY— VERY PRODUCTIVE! NOT AT THE THING I TRIED TO DO TODAY! [Breakdown - bouncy guitars, rhythmic female shouts, playful rather than heavy] FOCUS FOCUS FO— OH, THAT'S COOL FOCUS FOCUS WRITE THE MAIL DON'T CLICK THAT DON'T GET UP DON'T LOOK AWAY ONE LITTLE EMAIL THEN WE CAN PLAY [Bridge - sweet melodic female vocals, warm playful melody] Maybe my attention Didn't really disappear Maybe it just likes exploring Every shiny thing that's near I'll catch up with it eventually It's probably doing fine But I'd really fucking appreciate Getting it back sometime [Final Verse - very fast playful female shout-rap, controlled chaos] ALRIGHT, FINAL FUCKING ATTEMPT, HANDS ON KEYBOARD, EYES AHEAD, NO NEW WINDOWS, NO DISTRACTIONS, FINISH WHAT YOU FUCKING SAID, "HEY, THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME, THURSDAY WORKS, I'LL SEE YOU THEN." READ IT ONCE DON'T OVERTHINK IT PRESS THE BUTTON FUCKING SEND DONE! HOLY SHIT! FORTY-FIVE MINUTES FOR A MESSAGE WITH ELEVEN WORDS! BUT IT'S FINISHED, THAT'S WHAT MATTERS, WE CAN CELEBRATE— NEW EMAIL ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT [Final Chorus - huge joyful female vocals, colorful glitch layers and guitars] My attention span has left the building! But it somehow made it back! We completed one objective After seventeen attacks! My attention span has left the building! It'll probably leave again! But I finished what I started— Eventually! That fucking counts! [Post-Chorus - bright melodic guitar and glitch synth hook] [Outro - sugary female vocals, melody gradually simplifying] One thing done A thousand more Can't remember What they're for One thing done That's enough Tomorrow I can— [abrupt musical stop]
