On lyrics

So I have some diddies that go through my head all day and when I get home from work I try to recreate them on bass and then write them out. Now the problem I have is my "style" is more relaxed and melodic but when I try to write lyrics I only get stuff that would go great on a Deicide or Cradle of Filth album. Why is my music all happy and my lyrics not?
