Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

Maple Jean dries, spit licked clean

And Ma and Pa are crying once again

Ding-dong, life begins

Palm fronds, mandarins

And I'm coming up, yeah, life's not that bad

And I love Mum, but I don't mind Dad

Oh my, how she's grown

Into her winter coat

We must let her go

There she goes, there she goes

And life's not a bust, yeah, life's pretty rad

With her golden heart and happiness stacks

Yet, all these flashing lights

Say, "Maple Jean, she's gonna die"

And I don't feel an ounce of pain, and my first thought was, "God, what does it mean?"

Then I scroll deep on Wikipedia pages 'cause I can't find poor Maple Jean

Then I find words I hadn't heard in ages, hey, I'm a part of the Anthropocene

There is no God, there is just me, I'm the boy from the Anthropocene

There is no God, there is just me, and now there is no Maple Jean

Ding-dong, life wears thin

Ding-dong, darkness wins

Maple Jean

And the Anthropocene

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

I didn't mean to break your heart

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

I crushed it and tore it apart, oh

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

Oh God, please, what does it mean? And

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

What's this cruel world want from me?

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

And I treat myself like a God, but I'm running on low, something's up with my heart

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

And I see the little dent in my car, and your blood and your guts are all over the grass

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

And Ma, Pa, they're crying again, and that love that they felt has now come to an end

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

Oh God, please, what does it mean and what does this fucked world want from me? Oh

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

I didn't mean to break your heart

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

I crushed it and tore it apart, oh

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

Oh God, please, what does it mean? And

Maple Jean and the Anthropocene

What's this cruel world want from me?
