Noah Georgeson - Walking on Someone Else's Name Lyrics

Fixing a name to a place is left to history
Tags are all hung written out now for a century
The Glenn's Plateaus and barrows all are named
Isthmuses and the coves all have been claimed

We're walking on someone else's
We're swimming in someone else's
We're building on someone else's name

Can't give a face to a statue, plaque, an effigy
Maps are all full, there's no wall space in the galleries
Archipelligos and meadows all have names
The straits, the peaks, the passes have been claimed

We're walking on someone else's
We're swimming in someone else's
We're building on someone else's name
