Endless Dream
It's like we're caught in a matrix
Trapped in an empty paradise
We look alive on the outside
But we're dead... asleep inside
Is it just an endless dream
(What if I wake up)
Who am I supposed to be
(Will I self-destruct)
Have I lost the best of me
(Close my heart, curl up)
Floating in this endless dream
(Trying to stay numb)
As stars fall in the water
We try to lose our chains
The things they never meant to teach us
Only the hurt remains
Is it just an endless dream
(What if I wake up)
Who am I supposed to be
(Will I self-destruct)
Have I lost the best of me
(Close my heart, curl up)
Floating in this endless dream
(Trying to stay numb)
Author's Note
Music by Iceman - his instrumental track had the same name, and my wandering mind took it from there. It was fun singing & mixing this - 5 different vocal tracks. Many thanks if you take the time to listen even though this isn't really a music platform. 🙏

Hell yes I took the time. It's worth it!
And I have to admit that I like this type of singing by you more than the rock ones. I like the mood that it creates. Calming. Even if the wording can be taken as sad, it carries a hint of promise, because of the voice.
Great job BT.

Thanks for listening, Styx! Singing rock songs is fun (and sometimes I gotta get that shit out) but this is probably more my wheelhouse in terms of what I'm capable of writing. I'm glad you found it calming! Much appreciated.

Hi BK!!
I enjoyed the sound and how your voice was unrushed in the singing. I'm so happy for you and this
wonderful song. What an amazing accomplishment!

Dear K,
You know how I love me some BT singing so no need to gush on that. Last stanza totally made me reflect how often I will contemplate these exact ideas. Stellar write. H🌷

Hi H,
Thank you so much for always enthusiastically supporting my various efforts! 😊
I wrote & sang this one months ago... then got unreasonably shy about letting it go into the world. I'm glad I finally finished it.
