[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Coffee lands beside the screen,
half a cup, still too hot.
The red template's already open,
first headline in its place.
Chair wheels cross the morning floor,
monitors wake row by row.
I hang my coat behind the desk.
Nobody stops to look twice.

[Verse 2]
Leo's checking Blink already,
nobody had to ask.
Our publish time, then Blink's alert,
line up across his screen.
Ben looks down at the first push,
reads it once and shakes his head.
“Starting early.” Then he turns
and goes back to his desk.

[Chorus]
Another red morning,
already on the screen.
No raised voices,
no meeting in between.
The first one keeps on moving.
Nobody looks surprised.

[Verse 3]
Adrian walks in, asks what leads.
Someone points toward the board.
The first version is already live,
the next one's nearly ready.
I open up the source list.
Nobody breaks their stride.

[Break]

[Chorus]
Another red morning,
already on the screen.
Blink's time beside our own now,
no meeting in between.
The first one keeps on moving.
Nobody looks surprised.

[Bridge]
Then my message window opens:
“Can you confirm this second line?”
The timestamp says we published
seven minutes before nine.
I read the note, pick up the phone,
pull the number from the file.
Around me, someone calls an update.
Leo marks another time.

[Final Chorus]
Another red morning,
already under way.
Adrian asks what leads today.
Someone points toward the board.
I keep the question open.
Nobody looks surprised.

[Outro]
The line begins to ring.
Someone pours more coffee.
A chair rolls past my desk.
Leo checks the clock again.
I turn back to the screen.
