This 24 Hours

Dancing in the shadows

I hear you wanting my attention

Hoping for acknowledgement again

To claim your compensation

You wait for me to wake

Lurk in the corner of my eye

A pimp selling off my hopes

To every doubt who passes by

You think you have my attention

Just because of a glancing mention

I've got news for you my friend

My thoughts elsewhere I'm gonna spend

Cos I know your deviant tricks

I'm familiar with how your digits pick

Away at my mind when I think

Towards positivity you try to unstick

You didn't win today you hear me?

I stared you down this time so fear me

So go tell yourself this clearly

This 24 hours you didn't get near me.
