Ready For a Flight

Charlotte Martin


I can’t go back and erase the nails right there
Dug in my hands as he kept his eyes on me
Do you trust me? Well I trusted everything’s
Twisted, roughing the volcanic range of me

And I’m ready for a flight now
And I’m ready to let out a roar
With some muscle and a dried up prayer
That I couldn’t understand

Have I told you that I smile with just a smile
Layered over all the scars stacked up in piles
No more smiling cause I’m finished with that role
Of playing happy cause I have to let this blow

And I’m ready for a flight now
And I’m ready to let out a roar
With some muscle and a dried up prayer
That I couldn’t understand

Shelter me now cause you know I’ll cover you
When you’re open with your memories ripping through you
Breathe in again and make sure your lungs are clear
Of a rotten river that ran through us all these years

And I’m ready for a flight now
And I’m ready to let out a roar
With some muscle and a dried up prayer
That I couldn’t understand
And I couldn’t understand
And I still don’t understand
