REIGNING JUNK (10/5/95)

REIGNING JUNK (10/5/95)

Staring down the rain
Incessant as this feeling
I should be so gone now
Amnesty wasted on

Staring down the rain
Drenched inside this being
Not what I am doing, but who I am
Cause’ what I am doing is

Staring down the rain
My eyes closed all the time
Each word beads and drips from your lip
On this floodplain deep inside, I should be

Reigning down the stare
Of this subject junky rule
A coup d’etat with iron claw
Is that rain or Pavlov’s drool

Our eyes connect in a vicious circle
Ring of fire around my fist
I try to rise, my wings are shattered
As I smoke each rock I missed
Do you scour the land like vassals?
A fixture to the land
Evolutions devolution
This monkey used to stand
I had taken Gods to battle
I found a brief reprieve
A slave’s sword slit my vocal cord
And took me to my knees
With this padlock of fire
For keeping in the pain
My iron mask is billowed to a glow
My white-hot eyes stare through the holes, they are

Staring down the rain
I heard the core was cooling
3 miles, this heavy water
Drenched 9 years of schooling

Staring down the rain
I resent this cure
It hurts worse than addiction
And doesn’t seem as pure.
