Soul Khan - Morning Alone Lyrics
feat. Nicholas Ryan Gant[Verse 1: Soul Khan]Her family is three catsA picture of her dead husbandRegrets nothingAnd she means thatBecause she wanna be somethingOther thanThe other halfOf another manWhy repeat that?She’s got her own life now, she sleeps alone right nowEvery day’s a weight lifted off her bones right nowCan’t let her friends know right nowIt's only been a month; how’d you let him go right now?She lost himWhen it was a tossup betweenA ventilator and a paper saying do not resuscitate himHer world detonatedTo dustShe snuck away and lit up something that was mentholatedAnd puffedThey wanna stand by the widowOnly when she sags like a willowBut she almost laughs at the casket like,“now why the hell I have to buy a dead man a pillow?”[Hook: Nicholas Ryan Gant]They say this is the hard partThe wounds that never closeAnd even if they don’t scarEveryone still knowsSo she waitsSo she waits between spaceAnd the taste of the morning aloneSo she waits, she waitsSo she waits between spaceAnd the taste of the morning alone[Verse 2: Soul Khan]Now she’s wonderingWhere’s the long term struggleThe only thing buggin her’sThe crossword puzzleA five letter wordYou’re supposed to feelWhen a loss has occurredBut before you’ve healedThat’s grief,But it’s still not takingEffect in her chestSo she still not breakingMight say she’s a still life paintingPut her anywhereBut she’s still not changingCafe, coffee from MaltaAshtray lookin like the Rock of GibraltarThinking 'bout the path they walked from the altarHer shrink tried to put her onto cymbaltaThat’s for depressed folksMight as well have told her ass to take a mentosAnd get ghost‘cause she ain’t had a tear rollEyes dry as the pearls in her ear lobes, where’d she get those?That was for their anniversaryBefore the surgeryHe said he fought worse back in Germany“don’t worry,”He said, “it’s not gonna stop me”I’ll be back for the crosswords and coffeeShe tried to sip but her bottom lip’s tremblingRemembering what she probably should have said to himThat’s a chance that she’s never gonna get againThen it settles in and she breaks down[Hook: Nicholas Ryan Gant]
