Folks were asking sooo I finished it! I'm playing live so if you hear any fumbles, no you don't!

LYRICS!

I’ve been up for 40 hours
Though by now its 41
I tried my hand at sleeping
Now I watch the rising sun

It’s a pretty morning
Though the day now dawns I’m done!
Cause I’m going on hour 41

(hahaHAHAha)

I’ve been up for quite a while
And I’ve had some time to stew
Hey, is that book cover moving?
This tea’s past it’s time to brew

My eyes are puffy-crusty
But I have to see this through
Cause now I’m reaching hour 42

(Oh. My. Gd.)

I’ve tried about everything in the book
Counting sheep is cheap
And I still can’t sleep
So I take another look

I flip through YouTube and tv
TikTok shakes me awake
While my brain’s on break
I close it out with this plea

If there’s a higher power
Let it see me bended knee
Cause now I’m really on hour 43

I’ve been up 44 hours
Getting close to 45
Shadows dancing on the ceiling
Almost look like they’re alive

My eye has started twitching
Like my body is it’s hive
Oh bzzt! looks like we’ve hit hour 45

 (bzzzt!)

Look, I swear I’ve tried relaxing
But it seems like nothing clicks
Once I tried out melatonin
Dreamt I drowned in River Styx

My day is full tomorrow
My mind’s empty pulling tricks
Will someone knock me out hour 46?

(Wait - today, tomorrow, AH!)

I’ve tried about everything in the book
Pressure points on joints
Only disappoint
So I take another look

I fight to keep my head on straight
Stop my yap, take a nap
Could I close the gap
And slow my heart rate

Is there someone out there
Looking down who can change my fate?
I slipped past seven to hour 48

Is it so much to ask
To feel safe in my skin
The new place isn’t home yet
Cause we’ve yet to begin

But I’m not giving up
Until I have passed out
So I’ll keep counting hours
Till my body works it out

This home is new
This chapter is too
I’ll see this through
Before hour 52
