And now, look at little closer:

| I'm a winner!!! |
I've written 50 new songs in 90 days. Whew. (It says 52, but one was accidentally duplicated, and the other was just something else. So really, I wrote just the 50 and am stopping there.)
My 50th songs this year is called Pages and Pages.
i'm gonna make it to the bitter end without becoming bitter
i'll make it to the finish mark and declare that i'm a winner
i've crossed so many milestones
i've risen from the dead
the only bags i packed were full of words inside my head
i've filled pages and pages to get to the truth
dug up memories hoping they would give me a clue
sordid little details
of unimportant things
forgive me for i've included everything
i'm run down to the ground
and i'm on my last leg
i will crawl in if i have to cuz i've got something to say
but it's a fight down to the finish
and there are ink stains on my hands
i've been alone with all these words about as long as i can stand
i've filled pages and pages to get to the truth
dug up memories hoping they would give me a clue
sordid little details
of unimportant things
forgive me for i've included everything
i'll make it to the finish mark and declare that i'm a winner
i've crossed so many milestones
i've risen from the dead
the only bags i packed were full of words inside my head
i've filled pages and pages to get to the truth

Oh wow, well done! I'm sure you feel kind of 'empty' after writing so many songs/lyrics in such a short period of time. But maybe that's not a bad thing, I'm sure there will be many more songs to follow these 50! :)
