Maple

from False Idols by Max Savage

/

lyrics

Maple, shaken like a wind
Well you might not look so strong
But you’re keeping all your caution at your side
And maple, you ain’t broken
You ain’t cut up and twisted now
But the decades take their toll
And this summer’s almost fall
Then you’ll be old

You’ll be like the last believer
Only your heart will hold your truth
And when they cut you you’ll be slivered
finer than a feather on the wind

Maple, Aching for the city and all the people
With a broken heart in tow and a cast of open arms to wish you well

Maple, aching like a sin
And your hopeless on your own but in your heart you feel so strong
Just for today

And if you’re ever found
Like a general
Wandering around
Without a sense of history
These cities and these towns
Feel like a funeral
Never felt a yearning like I’m yearning just to know my destiny
Oh Maple, breathless with that burning in your heart
I’m a coward in a storm
And you can’t say you weren’t warned about this love of mine

Oh maple, grateful you’ll be spinning into turmoil soon
Well you’re terrible alone

And this house just ain’t no home for those who yearn
Maple, breaking til you’re spinning into purpose
Well the thrill is almost gone
But you’ll give it all the love of last goodbyes

And maple shaken
To the root of all your goodwill and damnation
Well its one thing to behave
Its another to be holding on for kicks
