Atlas

from Happenstance by Sophie Rae

/

lyrics

I’ve got a map on my back
Shoulder to shoulder you lay the track
Race cross carnal constellations
In your spectral Cadillac

Told no stories before
Sold stilts to a giant because he wanted more
Weight rolls off my back and to his it attaches
To level out the score
More ink than blood yet always craving more

In the city, oh, on that beach
Walk on the ice ‘til it claims my feet

Specific nobody out in the cold
Go out to join him ain’t no hand to hold
Ain’t no hand to hold

They told us to hold down the fort
But this fort ain’t got no walls
I guess that means we got the whole world
I think we can hold it all hold it all

If indica could indicate
Some revelation but instead I’m just late

They say that poetry’s my specialty
But I can’t sew verse with Uncle Where beneath my feet
Stirring grass beneath your feet

Your left conscience has led you
Every which way but right
Folly and foe made you go
But oh where you gonna rest your soul tonight
Carbon dirt a marriage full of strife
Tracing maps for the rest of your life
