Julia Mark - Geography Lyrics

I went to public school
And didn't learn geography
I cannot name the river that feeds the open sea
I can't decode the road that wove together you to me

But I've been living with this brain
And it's complex circuitry
Aching with appreciation for plasticity
Because every day I'm changing, if only by degrees
Learning how to cope
Generating hope

This year I fell in love
With the guy down the street
My father likes him and my mother is a bit too relieved

You know, my mother's fathers mother
She was a Samurai
And my my fathers mothers father
Never learned how to cry
And me, I am just I'm living the dream
That they forgot upon
Waking for the work day
Waking for the work day

I keep having nightmares
About assassinations
I think the news is changing me
Or is it my reflection waiting in the darkened screen?

Well I'm holding the compass
I don't know where to start
I've been searching through the
Mountains and the valleys of my heart

Looking for a joy
That will outweigh the cost
I don't know when to burn
Any bridges I've crossed

I am looking for stillness
Except when I'm not
There are days I must run
At the pace of my thoughts

I am looking for a motto
And an antidepressant
I am looking for a snack
And a life lesson

I am looking for a map with a legible key
I am making a list of places I ought to be
I am learning and I'm studying
Geography
