24 - Lyrics I wrote after being up straight for 23 hours, dazed and confused from all the sleep medication and whatnot I'd been taking.

There's a tune in my head but I can't tell what I've heard.

A remarkable poem as well, but I just can't place a word.

Any second now my sanity may take a large dip.

My soul is fleeing from my body with an audible "rip".

No drink is quenching my thirst or wetting my tongue.

No food will fill, out of energy, still, this must be sung.

The twenty-forth hour is nearing me ever so slightly.

I pray to Heaven, may the world hold me more tightly.

• 24 (lyrics) by A Walking Contradiction

After writing three verses, I took a hot shower, erased the final verse, and slept for 16 hours straight. I woke up with the worst migraine, but I thought it was worth it to see what I write when I'm out of it. I thought it was a neat little happening.
