Your back was slightly turned,
I kissed your cheek,
could see the tears behind your brown wise eyes building solidly
yet you turned away, not,
and closed your eyes.

While you were sleeping I danced within your dreams,
there I was all you wanted me to be.
Yet you know the truth,
too blind to see,
too weak to feel,
too alive to bleed.

While you were sleeping
I toured the world,

danced naked beneath the moonlight,
carressed fond dreams
I found him and let him go.

While you were sleeping
the world was mine alone to own
I searched for all you were afraid I would find
and there it seeked and grasped me
willingly i surrenderd
to your deepest fears.

While you were sleeping
they fell at my feet
every contour of my heart belonged to them.
Naked I stood before the light
and they still smile
illuminating the darkness behind.

While you were sleeping
I desired perfection
dew on my pillow
I awake and feel that long gone warmth.

While you were sleeping I danced with death,
I found the power to live
I broke your brave heart and soul
and faced your fears.

But while you were sleeping, Daddy
I kissed your soul
I love with every lie I with-hold...
