Morning Alone

[Verse 1: Soul Khan] Her family is three cats A picture of her dead husband Regrets nothing And she means that Because she wanna be something Other than The other half Of another man Why repeat that? She’s got her own life now, she sleeps alone right now Every day’s a weight lifted off her bones right now Can’t let her friends know right now It's only been a month; how’d you let him go right now? She lost him When it was a tossup between A ventilator and a paper saying do not resuscitate him Her world detonated To dust She snuck away and lit up something that was mentholated And puffed They wanna stand by the widow Only when she sags like a willow But 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 part The wounds that never close And even if they don’t scar Everyone still knows So she waits So she waits between space And the taste of the morning alone So she waits, she waits So she waits between space And the taste of the morning alone [Verse 2: Soul Khan] Now she’s wondering Where’s the long term struggle The only thing buggin her’s The crossword puzzle A five letter word You’re supposed to feel When a loss has occurred But before you’ve healed That’s grief But it’s still not taking Effect in her chest So she still not breaking Might say she’s a still life painting Put her anywhere But she’s still not changing Cafe, coffee from Malta Ashtray lookin like the Rock of Gibraltar Thinking 'bout the path they walked from the altar Her shrink tried to put her onto cymbalta That’s for depressed folks Might as well have told her ass to take a mentos And get ghost ‘cause she ain’t had a tear roll Eyes dry as the pearls in her ear lobes, where’d she get those? That was for their anniversary Before the surgery He 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 coffee She tried to sip but her bottom lip’s trembling Remembering what she probably should have said to him That’s a chance that she’s never gonna get again Then it settles in and she breaks down [Hook: Nicholas Ryan Gant]
