[Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of the cliff, I start to slip
Don't mind if I slide off
Now I feel my mood start to lift, I find my grip
And the screaming fades away below
I grab myself and spin me around, I start to sprint
I climb down to steadier ground
If I could bushwhack it on back to the shack behind those hills
I'll find the world is finally still
[Chorus]
Run through pale dark woods to
That sugar shack
Breathe warm steam and hide
In that old sugar shack
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Boiling heat, maple steam
Frozen snow, then it flows
When you leave your maple dream
Wait 'til spring to go again
[Verse 2]
A mosaic of lies I tried to arrange
In ways that shelter the blame
I thought I might have made off clear with all of the loot
I plucked and ate all the fruit
Then I started hearing the yells and shattering plates
Drowned out by your slithering stares
I was followed and chased and caught and tied up by the hate
Right until I made my escape
[Chorus]
Run through pale dark woods to
That sugar shack
Breathe warm steam and hide
In that old sugar shack
[Guitar Solo]
