[Verse 1]
I never know what to say now
Maybe the words just fall out
Onto the floor where I lay, most of my day
I guess I'm a waste of space
I've got no doubt I was fueled to the fire
I let it burn and let the flames grow higher
They towered above me I'm tired I'm spent
I guess I'm giving in again
I guess I'm giving in again
[Chorus 1]
All my life I've fallen by the wayside
Don't look left when everything is alright
'Cause everything is alright
[Verse 2]
I'm always late in the day I just can't keep
Inside my head scatteredbrained and I can't sleep
Hit growing pains and they came out of nowhere
I'd work it out but the truth is I don't care
I'd work it out but the truth is I don't care
[Chorus 2]
All my life I've fallen by the wayside
Don't look left when everything is alright
'Cause everything is alright
And I've been up all night staring at the ceiling
No light just trying to find some meaning
Well I guess I didn't need to find
Scatterbrained but I'm alright
[Bridge]
Scatterbrained and I'm late again
Scatterbrained and I'm late again
But the truth is I don't care
Oh yeah the truth is I don't care
[Chorus 2]
All my life I've fallen by the wayside
Don't look left when everything is alright
'Cause everything is alright
And I've been up all night staring at the ceiling
No light just trying to find some meaning
Well I guess I didn't need to find
Scatterbrained but I'm alright
ROAM released Scatterbrained on Fri Oct 13 2017.
Vocalist Alex Adam spoke to Kerrang! about the song:
We recorded this during our first morning in the studio – and then it changed hugely! We came back to it later on and the lyrics ended up being about rewriting the song, because it just wasn’t good enough how it was.
