music by me, metaphor by John Green :)

this video was a little delayed because i kept saying to myself, "robert, record that john green song!" and i kept responding, "okay!" but then there was pizza and i was distracted and

lyrics:
We are the makers of maps
The dreamers of dreams, the ponderers of downstream
Currents, players in the dirt for it's
Inevitably worth it, charting out protrusions from the earth

We are flawed in our perceptions
We strive for the most accurate recollections
And while our interpretations fickle
The truth is never simple no the truth is never simple no no

We're each one of 6.96 billion
sitting in our paper towns, cavorting with civilians
And we're each part of something bigger than ourselves
whether it be consuming or stocking up the shelves
we know we know, the truth resists simplicity
but i know that hearts will roam past infinity

chorus

Though I may be off on the topography
And I can't draw straight lines for the life of me
We're all making maps
Until our bodies collapse

chorus 2x
