Just blown away and equally deeply touched. Haunting performance. Could we have the lyrics please?

[@B_O_D_I_E_S]

Here you go:
Born Clever
Born in a tree,
hopelessly wondering
Real life above, real life below
But you’re too young to know, too young to know
Born to a lie:
Love is resistance
Your hand in the air, your heart in the ground
But you’re too clever to know, too clever to know
I can’t love you now
I can’t love you now
Born to a crown,
ladies-in-waiting
so ready for love, ready to sing
But you’re too stubborn to see, no heart is trophy
I can’t love you know
I can’t love you know
And I’ll rest your soul tonight, and you’ll
tell me everything you are
Leave your horses at the well
in the unfamiliar dark
Rest your soul tonight, and I’ll
tell you everything I’m not:
not a trophy, nor a crown
Don’t ask me to love you now
