Intro
6 AM, day-mode permanent Battery 100, pupils 400
Verse 1
Hour one, two cans deep, Bang and a Vyvanse Hour two, ChatGPT writing me a sleep plan Hour three, refresh, refresh, refresh, repeat Hour four, Notion looking like Wall Street feed Hour five, ring light hot, eyes already pink Hour six, my phone in bed before I even think Lo-fi tab, work tab, X tab, group chat ping 47 Chrome tabs and I open one more thing TikTok said no breaks today, no exception Sleep is for the workers, not the architects Building an empire on a Bang and a Vyvanse The algorithm clocking every breath I take
Pre-chorus
Day-mode permanent Cracked halo, glow on Phone face up, eyes fried Sleep mode, I logged off
Chorus
24 / 0, the math don't math Blue light bath, my halo's cracked 24 / 0, the bag don't catch Sleep is the app I forgot to install Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, no one's home Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, but I post alone
Verse 2
Hour seven, sun up, 4 percent left in me Hour eight, started writing, ended on a meme Hour nine, watched a man unbox a vacuum for an hour Hour ten, cried at a stranger's mom's recovery Hour eleven, read a thread about my brain on dopamine Hour twelve, screenshotted it all, opened none Brain rotting like a peach on the sill in June Tuesday's notes still open from a Monday I forgot Tab marked URGENT, clicked it, recipe for pie Tab marked RESEARCH, Reddit thread at 4 AM Laptop's a museum of intentions I outran Productivity is just panic with a planner
Chorus
24 / 0, the math don't math Blue light bath, my halo's cracked 24 / 0, the bag don't catch Sleep is the app I forgot to install Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, no one's home Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, but I post alone
Verse 3
Hour 13, fluorescent kitchen, cold pad thai Hour 14, swore my AirPod whispered back Hour 15, every ad reading my diary out loud Hour 16, the For You Page is for me, only me Hour 17, mirror check, left eye won't stop Hour 18, jaw's a fault line, tongue gone numb Heard my name on the timeline, couldn't find it The fridge hum's in B-flat and I'm matching pitch Plantation sun coming up behind the screen My reflection in the iPad won't blink when I do Phantom buzz, phantom buzz, phantom buzz, buzz The silence on the back end sound like it's after me
Bridge
Sleep is the app I forgot to install The update keeps failing, the cloud's full Told my body it could rest in November Now my body don't believe me at all 4:47 AM, who's the ghost in the doorbell
Chorus
24 / 0, the math don't math Blue light bath, my halo's cracked 24 / 0, the bag don't catch Sleep is the app I forgot to install Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, no one's home Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh 24 / 0, but I post alone
Verse 4
Hour 19, ceiling fan spinning to a clock face Hour 20, keyboard typing letters I don't press Hour 21, waved at me through the doorbell cam Hour 22, the dog from 2017 walked the wall Hour 23, voice asked, is this still you Couldn't tell if it was me or the drafts talking The cursor blinking same beat as my heartbeat Heartbeat asking the cursor what we doing here Walls breathing soft like a Bluetooth speaker Monitor glow gentle, gentle as a knife To-do list shorter by zero after 24 To-do list longer by 8 after 24
Verse 5
Hour 24 Light come back through the same blinds it left from Phone at 1%, same as me Posted nothing, made nothing, saved nothing Drafts folder a graveyard of myself Algorithm don't even pull up to the funeral 6 AM Battery 1 Pupils still 400 Brain offline Body still scrolling
Inside the recording
6 AM, day-mode permanent Battery 100, pupils 400
Day-mode permanent Cracked halo, glow on
Hour 24 Light come back through the same blinds it left from
