Mapmaker. lyrics by #DrPatty2e

(Verse 1) Born to a land where the rivers don’t run, Tracing her steps by the weight of the sun. Her hands hold a compass with no needle to sight, Still, she maps out the world in the dark of the night. (Pre-Chorus) She walks where the sky folds into the sea, Where the shadows are carved into truths yet to be. No roads are marked; no signs remain— Such that every misstep draws her inward again. (Chorus) She’s the explorer of untamed ground, Marking the edges of what can’t be found. Her compass turns to a rhythm unknown, Tracing the paths that the world leaves alone. (Verse 2) In the valleys of mirrors, her voice takes its shape, In reflections of battles she’d learn to escape. The marks on her journey show pure in the glass, A guide for the unseen who see her at last. (Pre-Chorus) The winds may be silent, the stars may deceive, But her map’s drawn by soft sighs that no one can see. The ground gives no answers, the heavens don’t bend, Yet still the path whispers, “Go where you intend.” (Chorus) She’s the explorer of untamed ground, Marking the edges of what can’t be found. Her compass turns to a rhythm unknown, Tracing the paths that the world leaves alone. (Bridge) She bends like the willow, though her roots won’t betray, They drink from a well where the night meets the day. The lines that she follows don’t lead to a throne, But to wild open spaces where she’s never gone. (Chorus) She’s the explorer of untamed ground, Marking the edges of what can’t be found. Her compass turns to a rhythm unknown, Tracing the paths that the world leaves alone. (Outro) So she’ll follow her map to where ink runs thin, Through the darkened horizons, to whispering whim. Her journey’s the answer, her compass the song, For the mapmaker knows that the lost still belong. They a her she is them and she knows she belongs. They belong. We belong. I belong.
