lyrics

Long ago and seasons past
In a town far away
I knew the world threw 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
