The King of New York
Raindrops bombing down on the tin roof
My shelter, alone, drowns in forest sea
And, no. No one would hear me if I fell
Or fired my gun, just for a quick exit
But, the show must go on though these
Legs urge to rust and decay in hunger
Stop! This! Spiraling! Deep breaths out
I proceed dialing in a stifling trance
That I learned when times were calmer
From a lady, Adrienne. On, rain pours
Visualizing technique, fight eyes shut
At first tongue in cheek, but it works
Back above neons, windows open as me
Curtains wafting in street noise freely
Everything in it's place, mine is here
Bedside, horizontal gazing at 'PREMIER'
Hustle. Bustle. Keeps mind decongested
In New York apartment parents protested
Among the downpour, single tear streams
Leaking my core. Vertical, gazing about
Raindrops bombing down on the tin roof
My shelter, alone, drowns in forest sea
Soon, back, I'll return as New York's king
In adventure's adjourn of forest's wring
My shelter, alone, drowns in forest sea
And, no. No one would hear me if I fell
Or fired my gun, just for a quick exit
But, the show must go on though these
Legs urge to rust and decay in hunger
Stop! This! Spiraling! Deep breaths out
I proceed dialing in a stifling trance
That I learned when times were calmer
From a lady, Adrienne. On, rain pours
Visualizing technique, fight eyes shut
At first tongue in cheek, but it works
Back above neons, windows open as me
Curtains wafting in street noise freely
Everything in it's place, mine is here
Bedside, horizontal gazing at 'PREMIER'
Hustle. Bustle. Keeps mind decongested
In New York apartment parents protested
Among the downpour, single tear streams
Leaking my core. Vertical, gazing about
Raindrops bombing down on the tin roof
My shelter, alone, drowns in forest sea
Soon, back, I'll return as New York's king
In adventure's adjourn of forest's wring
