Maple Leaves

[Verse 1]

I’m swimming through honey 

Blind to what's slowing me 

So, I’m stomping fire on the pavement, 

Fire caught by dry maple leaves

I'm walking through the darkness

With only anger to light 

Where the storm goes, I follow 

I guess chaos feels right

[Chorus]  

These maple leaves surround me

As I walk through their flames 

That sing sweet rhapsodies.

Their faces look like judgment,

Their whispers point at me

I fear they will throw stones at what they cannot see.

[Post-Chorus]

I’m approaching the lion’s den 

Though the rage will pour out my mouth

Cause they are the pole of the north 

And I am the pole of the south.

[Verse 2]

I'm swimming through honey 

Made of words they do not speak

So, I stomp fire on the pavement 

Fire caught by dry maples leaves

I’m walking through darkness 

My heavy tread makes a torturous light,

Seeing red, red, red, 

I’m all burnt up from my own spite

[Chorus]

These maple leaves surround me

As I walk through the flames 

That have captured me

My thoughts are made of loathing 

That bite and hiss at me

I fear I will throw stones at my enemies

[Post-Chorus]

I cannot approach the lion’s den 

And keep the rage inside my mouth 

Cause they are the pole of the north 

And I am the pole of the south
