Flat Ground

from Happenstance by Sophie Rae

/

lyrics

Well Chicago ain't so friendly to a girl and her guitar
Damn wind will snap her weary strings
Or freeze her on a train car
They say "why did you leave Denver?"
To go on an adventure
Travel far

Oh the night is stitched in orange
And the spoken word is king
I can't see no stars above or stars ahead
Where I thought my notes would ring
Flat ground, it flattens everything
Due east, my drowning grounds
Where impact sinks like pockets full of pounds
And so of you I sing

And that woman with her toothless grin
She asked if she could be my friend
And told me all her secrets
And she told me she was damned
Well she offered me her wedding ring
To escape the man who's on the other end
She said "please my dear
Help me get away from here
With one stop north his fist can't reach my ear"
With my pockets lighter
Would she become a fighter
Every street corner question
Grow her future from her tears

Triangular enlightenment
You're too big for your home
This chaotic state would seal my fate
If only I believed in them
I'm light and so my feet
Don't leave impressions on wet concrete,
Carry on
Mountains turn to squares
And there ain't solace anywhere
And so I call you home
