True North
[Verse 1]
Unrepentant vagabond
Plot the new coordinates and cast the map aside
Now I gotta ramble on
Navigate the pitfalls and cross the great divide

[Pre-Chorus]
The mapmaker's legend has direction and a key
It set the declination, but what good is it to me?

[Chorus]
I can't see the rationality
The world's not my responsibility
And happiness isn't there for me
But maybe I'll inch closer to the source
When I find true north
With or without a friend (North)
Keep searching 'til the end

[Verse 2]
Testing fate and cheating death
No one ever told me it was gonna be like this
Contemplate the randomness
When the mind is willing, it gets downright perilous

[Pre-Chorus]
Overburdened, underwhelmed, their ethical decrees
That's your moral compass, but what good is it to me?
[Chorus]
I can't see the rationality
The world's not my responsibility
And happiness isn't there for me
But maybe I'll inch closer to the source
When I find true north
With or without a friend (North)
Keep searching 'til the end (North)
When I find true north
