Alexis Strum - Cocoon

Wrapped up in mosquito nets


Offer some protection


Curled up foetal in our beds


Naked we lay


Everybody says it but do they really mean it?


(You’ll be fine you’ll be fine)


Everybody waves it like a hand in my face


But what’s surviving anyway?


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe


I need to hear it


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe


I need to hear it - all of the time


I need to hear it


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again


Crawl into the overhead, ready for the thunder


Dreaming of the riverbed on some better day


Everybody’s saying that I’m doing really good now


(And how far I have come)


Everybody’s happy just to stay in one place


‘Cause what’s surviving anyway?


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe


I need to hear it


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe


I need to hear it - all of the time


I need to hear it


Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again


Close my eyes I’m just like a newborn child


A newborn child I tell you


When I close my eyes


I’m just like a newborn child, a newborn child
