They say Joy comes in the morning.

Well …  I’ve been praying for better days 

And I realize as long as I got you in this bed I’m not walking on water but trimbling on rocks straight from the pit of hell

I thought my body was a temple but I been laying with the devil .. so how did I become your safe haven.. 

Hands godly, eyes angelic 

I fall into his heavenly whispers I was sooo overzealous 

No good for me yet I feel so  free so I think… until you leave 

Out from the haze, outside of your gaze, I’m done living in this daze…  with you ….

They say joy come in the morning 

But .. my mama loves you 

They say joy comes in the morning and I make you happy right 

They say joy comes in the morning so how am I so angry at night 

They say joy comes in the morning but… fuck that I repent from your charming ways tonight 

I’m done and not just for tonight  

I can’t be your light and you only come around after midnight 

This temple is no longer for you 

I don’t move when you say move 

You can’t wear my smile

My skin does not belong on your skin 

I want the twinkle in my eyes back

I want the twinkle in my life back

You can’t keep taking from you

I won’t keep giving 

Not my peace 

Not my soul

They say joy comes in the morning 

And today I woke up and I found my back bone. 

They say joy comes in the morning but I refuse to wait .. wake your funky ass and go find another bed for you to lay in ..
