On your toes, little soldier
You know you saw this coming a mile away everybody says
Don’t you let ‘em get any closer
Keep that darling boy One foot, one kiss away Everybody says
And Everyone’s wearing that crown
And Everyone’s waiting to leave this town Everyone’s out of their minds because
Everyone’s sitting around inside, except you and I
On your toes, little soldier
Keep that collar high, don’t you go and sway Everybody says
Drawing closer as the night draws closer
You’ll sit thigh to thigh, You’ll always get your way Everybody says
And nobody told me to wait
Nobody told me I had to be brave Nobody knows what they’re waiting for Nobody wants to be cracked open wide, Except you and I
And I know how it goes
When you’re lonely when you’re tired
When you’re looking out the window
and the world’s outside
If you can bear to stay, first a breath, then a stride
Nobody wants to be opened wide, opened wide
You know I think we’re on the mend
Rip it up and start again
You know I think it’s time we start
Taking heart (3x)
On your toes, little soldier
You know you saw this coming a mile away everybody says
Tasty. Literally a malt for your soul. Drenched in cool. I am here for the way her honeyed vocals and rich harmonies go down easy. Don't sleep. No Money In My Pocket / I got the love. Samantha Rise
Unreal, unapologetic, unstoppable. Her incredible flow, full of quirks and slickness, & amazing production feel to me a muscle building a new realm of hip-hop on the front of the black feminist wave. Samantha Rise
These songs are my everything ,and Esme Patterson is a dreamboat. Presence, purpose, openess and a frank loveliness, floating. I could drive to Philly form WY and back again this record. Samantha Rise
Excellent soundscapes and mood...reminds me of the Song Drapes of Jerry Hunt but from different influences. Mesmerizing and inspirational simultaneously. Favorite Track: LETTERS FROM EARTH. BeagleBay
I was grabbed immediately by the first track, "Good Luck Rd." - I wish I'd had this album in college. I'd probably have some of these lyrics tattooed somewhere... Joe Brockmeier
