True north (geodetic north) is the direction along the earth's surface towards the geographic North Pole.
True geodetic north usually differs from magnetic north (the direction a compass points toward the magnetic north pole), and from grid north (the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection). Geodetic true north also differs very slightly from Astronomical true north (typically by a few arc seconds) because the local gravity may not point at the exact rotational axis of the earth.
The direction of astronomical true north is marked in the skies by the north celestial pole. This is within about 1 degree of the position of Polaris, so that the star appears to trace a tiny circle in the sky each day. Due to the precession of the Earth's axis, true north rotates in an arc with respect to the stars that takes approximately 25,000 years to complete. In 2102 Polaris will make its closest approach to the celestial north pole. 5,000 years ago, the closest star to the celestial north pole was Thuban[citation needed].

So dont mind going on
Feels like im doing laps around everyone
Healing factor turning on
Take your pills lets get it off another day
When its time to go outside
Please leave your shades at home
You look like such a dick sometimes
Yeah, look whos talking, I know
We all want to go out and play
know that it's not know that it is nothing
We all want to go out and play
It's not that bizarre
And know that its nothing
Daylight embracing darkness always feels like they're racing death to the porch
Crust of the earth is flaking off changing the time zones confusing the true north
Here is a the note that I wont avoid
Hear when I say this now
When static is all that's left on the phone
Feel free to change the channel
Starlight is blazing and its the only source of illumination of course
Weight of the humans taken off shedding the ozone Finding a new home
This is the Number please look it over Everything else is just a distracter
Shrugging extinction off.
