Metropark

Long ago and seasons past In a town far away I knew the world through Metroparks And mixtapes I had made I would ride uneven grounds Warped and buckled bike paths And every harsh cicada sound Blew alarms in my past And the summer walked all over me As I rolled over it I was 19 fighting in the work force And I didn't give a shit I fled in tears my college town Leaving untaken paths I found the youth lust smothering And urgent did seem my tasks When at last October came And I had started a band The lonely birds of Kensington No longer ate from my hand And the autumn's honeyed entropy Made haste my welcome guest I was 19 moving to the city Making love with trust and debt
