I’m trapped on an asphalt island,
Traveling has gotten into my veins.
Longing for the kiss of summer,
Wash away society’s stains.

Living solidly on firm foundation
I’d trade it in for a stone
Just to pick up once more
And without purpose, do roam.

I miss the sounds of the season.
I miss the metal and lights.
I miss the canopies dropping
I miss the joy of slough nights.

I’m trapped on an asphalt island
Never more a part of the caravan.
Never will I embark into nothing
Just to seek who I am.

I’ve got the longing to return there.
It still burns deep, blistering my heart.
I wish to return to the Carnival
Even to just run the Balloon Dart.

But, I’m trapped on an asphalt island
Stuck in Suburbia in true form.
My walls are in a permanent location
And my daily routines are now worn.
