I get here while the parking lot is dark before the cough is on. There's something new that launched at midnight sharp, and I've been waiting long. You think a man would tire of the chase of keeping up the pace, but every morning brings a different door. I can't wait for that face. New toys every day, new doors in the morning, new toys every day without a word of warning.
New toys every day, the world won't stop for sleeping. So I rise before the light to do the work worth keeping. The barn I raised myself will always stand against the years and trade. Five hundred articles are now coming like water through a screen. I built the bucket and I built the frame to know what each thing means.
New toys every day, new doors in the morning, new toys every day without a word of warning. New toys every day. So I rise before the light to do the work worth keeping. You can't know it despite reading it. You have to cook and eat the knowledge in your hands is not the same as knowledge in the sheet and Claude rebuilt the thing I needed most, a two-day kind of job, the quiet proof that knowing how to build is not a gift, it's love, new toys every day, new doors in the morning, new toys every day without a word of warning new toys every day, the world won't stop for sleeping, so I rise before the light, new toys every day.
