Devils and Maple Trees Lyrics

Devils and maple trees lining the streets of this town
Keeping me wrapped in my bed when the moons' gone down

And I fight the urge to return
I fight the urge to stay in bed all day
Oh but what would they say

Indescision floats over the house
As if you asked it to come around

The pressure will fade, but the feeling remains
¿I know? it makes it easier now
To keep your secret safe

Found the last ember and call it a day
Dying can wait, you finally say

But, it's hard isn't it
To keep conviction maintained
When you don't believe, you don't believe, you don't believe in it

Daytime moves forward forward and I'm falling headfirst out my window
The sunlight is frozen, it's sticking to my face and my mouth
And my tongue falls out

My words trickle into your mouth
And you've got time to think it over
You've got time to soak it in

You've got a lot to swallow now
And I'll write it down
Every bit of history paraphrased

Devils and maple trees lining the streets of this town
Blot out the sun and set fire to the clouds
My notebook and I lie open upon the lawn
The blood in my pen, tonight never ends
But sometimes gets blocked out

So I'll leave this town
