Cartography by Hollow Atlas
[Verse 1]
We spread the map across the kitchen floor
You named the rivers, I drew in the shore
We made a country out of borrowed light
And planted flags in the middle of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road we took became a legend
Every room we shared became a land
I didn't know that I was lost until
You put the whole world in my hands
[Chorus]
We were cartographers of something real
Drawing borders only we could feel
Every signal bright, every distance closed
God, we were everywhere and no one knows
We built a world and called it ours to keep
Mapped every mountain, every river, every sleep
I still can see it — all that open ground
The life we drew before it came unwound
[Verse 2]
You marked the places where the light came in
I wrote our longitude and latitude in pen
We laughed at distances, we crossed them all
We never thought to map a way to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road we took became a legend
Every room we shared became a land
I didn't know that I was lost until
You put the whole world in my hands
[Chorus]
We were cartographers of something real
Drawing borders only we could feel
Every signal bright, every distance closed
God, we were everywhere and no one knows
We built a world and called it ours to keep
Mapped every mountain, every river, every sleep
I still can see it — all that open ground
The life we drew before it came unwound
[Bridge]
And I keep the map
I keep it folded in my chest
Every line we drew
I memorised the rest
You said the world was ours
You said we'd never drift
But a hollow atlas
Is the hardest thing to lift
[Final Chorus]
We were cartographers of something real
Drawing borders only we could feel
Every signal bright, every distance closed
God, we were everywhere and no one knows
We built a world and called it ours to keep
Mapped every mountain, every river, every sleep
I still can see it — all that open ground
The life we drew before it came unwound
[Outro]

00:34Every room we shared became a land
00:38I didn't know that I was lost
00:40Until you put the whole world in my hands
00:45We were caught talking for something real
00:49Drawing borders only we could feel
00:52Every signal bright, every distance closed
00:56God, we were everywhere
00:57And no one knows
00:59We built a world and called it ours to keep
01:03Mapped every mountain, every river, every sleep
01:06I still can see it, all that open ground
01:11The life we drew before it came unwound
01:18You marked the places where the light came in
01:21I wrote our longitude and latitude in pair

02:12The life we drew before it came unwound
02:28And I keep the map
02:32I keep it folded in my chest
02:35Every line we drew
02:38I memorized the rest
02:43You said the world was ours
02:46You said we'd never drift
02:50But a hollow atlas
02:53Is the hardest thing to live
03:00We were cartographers of something real
03:04Drawing borders only we could feel

03:18Mapped every mountain, every river, every sleep
03:22I still can see it, all that open ground
03:25The life we drew before it came unwound
03:33As the basket with an other
03:33Amor, you still remain
03:34In the same time, all that open ground
03:39In the same time you've died
