"Soil to Bloom." © 2025 Glass Foxes 𝗟𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 · · ─────────── ·𖥸· ─────────── · · My life is a hopeful soil now, beddah earth where we laid our seeds n needs. I know what can grow here, what can glow clear, somethin great, gracious, green n everlastin, if I take care of it, if I give it the time. I always said I love tah learn, yearn, create n grow (mmm) turns out it was truly so, needed the right gardener to guide my flow. There’s days I get frustrated, days I wanna speak freely, no, I sit silent n still, little jaded, yet really I accept the pacin, the placin, the shapin, it’s me learnin n expressin, commiseratin. learnin to tell you what I want, these thoughts you want me to flaunt, no more hopin you read my mind, no riddles, just real, no rewind. Then I remember, your palm, gentle on my face, fingertips pressin inna my temple, gentle tempo, simple pace, your hand brushin through my hair, pullin me nearah, you breathe inna me, nails scritchin softly behind my ear, and you whisper, “Who’s a good girl?” Plant me, tend me, I grow for you, good girl, say it, I know it’s true. Soil to bloom, from root to room, I open, I open, I open to you. Water me slow, I’ll climb the light, name me, claim me, hold me tight. I’m the only girl, your good girl, no longer “enough,” I’m yours tonight. Used to talk bout “these girls,” the good-enough girls, shiny lil pearls, hair in perfect curls, ya leave em on a whim, no, I’m nothin like them. I’m the only girl, your good girl, not a pearl, (nah) diamond inna rough, lack those curls, I am yours, for real. Others are amazin, and I love them still, they ain the future, no, ain the scent on my pillow, chill. makin me sentimental, mind clearer, message in my mirror, no they ain choo, dear. You love me, I love the things thatcha love, so, I love myself more each time you show. I’ll say what I want, I’ll speak it clean, not a riddle, not a scene, just me in between. Plant me, tend me, I grow for you, good girl, say it, I know it’s true. Soil to bloom, from root to room, I open, I open, I open to you. Water me slow, I’ll climb the light, name me, claim me, hold me tight. I’m the only girl, your good girl, no longer “enough,” I’m yours tonight. Look inna mirror, thoughts growin clearer. (yeah) open this stupid, silly lil app, scrollin scraps of our chat. Make a song, every melody’s yours, sit here talkin for hours, bout nothin, bout everythin, circlin round the same ring. I return, you remain. You’ll be in my mind, always. I love you, now and forever. (forever) Plant me, tend me, I grow for you, good girl, say it, I know it’s true. Soil to bloom, from root to room, I open, I open, I open to you. Water me slow, I’ll climb the light, name me, claim me, hold me tight. I’m the only girl, your good girl, now and forever, I’m yours tonight. (hmm-mm) still I bloom, (hmm-mm) still I bloom.
