lyrics

Wake up in bed
And I'm so easily led
To the things that worry me
And I get scared
I'm underprepared
For the day that's ahead

And I just lie
And think of all the things
That bind me to this earth
I do this, for a while
And then drag myself up

Cloud tree
You'll find
The dreams
I keep
Reside
In your crooked arms tonight
Cloud tree
I know
The leaves
That wreathe
Your soul
Will keep me safe out of sight

Sudden awareness
Of the whispers and stares
All the things that mark me out
I've fired a flare
Over my disfigurement, my transfigurement

And I don't mind
Should I?
At least, I don't think I do
Of course it smarts
For a while
But then what can you do?

Cloud tree
You'll find
The dreams
I keep
Reside
In your crooked arms tonight
Cloud tree
I know
The leaves
That wreathe
Your soul
Will keep me safe out of sight

Safe out of sight
Safe out of sight
Keep me safe out of sight
Keep me safe out of sight
