Take the time to know your heart
Where it ends and where it starts
Every corner unseen
Afraid to look upon beauty
Lips that breathe air
You’re almost there
You’ve given up so much
You haven’t lost your touch
Just laugh , kindly relax
You’re safe to rest your head
Tremors of memories escape you
While you’re asleep in bed
Too scared to look away
I’m sorry I could not stay
Stranger in her eyes
She’s stronger by no surprise
Lips that breathe air
I’m almost there
I’ve given up so much
I haven’t lost my touch
Just laugh , kindly relax
You’re safe to rest your head
Tremors of memories escape you
While you’re asleep in bed
Deep in my minds eyes
It’s as simple as a lullaby
No wrong and no right
Nothing can get to you
you’ll be safe tonight
Deep in my minds eyes
It’s as simple as a lullaby
No wrong and no right
Nothing can get to you
you’ll be be safe tonight
I’ll be here the whole time
Darlin you’ll be fine
Nothing can get to you
You’ll be safe tonight
I’ll be here the whole time
Darlin please don’t cry

Stunningly beautiful and powerful, both musically and lyrically. This release is my favorite album this year. EM is a major talent. The work she and her band have put in to find their sound has reached a sweet spot for me. Congratulations! I hope you get the recognition deserved for this very fine collection of songs. mplsdoug
The Brooklyn group Aisle Knot writes hushed, mysterious songs that are charmingly rickety and grounded in surefooted melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable May 22, 2021
