Maple Maps

I was in the mood to do a kind of fuzzy rocker sort of thing. For the lyrics I really leaned into surreal and dreamlike imagery.

If I was there and you were over here
We wouldn't know where each other's gone to
You'd be away and I'd be wandering round
An uncharted place that I feel drawn to
I keep on sifting through piles of maple maps
The forest growing after the world's collapse
Once in a dream I saw a raging river
Far below me it boiled away and
When it grew dark saw rows of glowing eyes
I fled to the park and found you flailing
You asked me why the hills were whispering
We gazed at the sky colored by crayons
I took a seat and traced the twisting branches
Stretching past me over the gray lawn
I counted millions of forks in the road
Where different versions of me have often strolled
I found a place across the ocean where the
Forest spreads out underneath four moons
I'll lead the way guided by maple maps
And a giant whale evading harpoons
I jumped as high as I could and left Earth's orbit
I shed thoughts weighing me down the sad and morbid
Now I've become a shimmering comet blazing
Around the sun and off to deep space
Speeding on towards the blinding blur of stars
And objects unknown to find a safe place
