Lyrics by Morning Glories Drummer

*Song- Morning Glories

Verse 1-

When I was young I’d chop cotton in the Arizona Sun

Like an oven baked in heat, sweat ran down my back

Morning Glories, sprouted late, filled with hate, they’d choke the fields I was in

Chorus-

Can I just borrow, today’s sorrow, and give it back once I have learned

Always beaten, labeled a cretin,

morning glories choked my mind

Verse 2-

A summer ends, I rejoice, I count my meager pay

Rhythms inside me, a percussive soul, I want to drum these morning glories away

Into town, a blood red kit, I believe it was a Saturday

Bridge-

Now I’ve grown older, a 90s kid, trying to make my way

Jamaican rhythms, grunge rock scene, I remember when I was young

My youth calls, music inside, I ran away from the boy I knew

For a season I digressed, became depressed, morning glories choked my mind everyday

I’ll stop fighting, society climbing, that box I threw away

Chorus-

Can I just borrow, today’s sorrow, and give it back once I have learned

Always beaten, labeled a cretin,

morning glories choked my mind
