Holding your hand, while you're... sleeping the night away.
When you wake in the morning, who will rise to greet the day?
You can be the pretender, the charmer on a stage.
You can be the defender, trying to take the pain away...
But I can never tell, who'll you'll be when you're sleeping,
there's nothing to signal these secrets you're keeping.

Suspended in a moment, free from...
