LIVING IN A DREAM
(T. Beechey)

Living in a dream,dreaming of a time
Timing all my steps,stepping to the chime
Of a overhead bell in an underground world
There's no one to tell as tales are unfurled

Living in a dream,.dreaming of a place
Placing all my bets,betting on a race
I can never win,but hate to think I'll lose
Perhaps I'll play again,it's not for me to choose

They all point to me,it's a pointless task
To offer any plea,so I don't even ask
I know they are wrong and somehow it seems
Like it all belongs,living in a dream

Living in a dream,dreaming of a land
Landing on my face,facing what's at hand
Not what I deserve,deserving what I get
All the time serving as hostage to the debt

Living in a dream,dreaming of a sign
Signing my confession on the dotted line
I'm not the one to blame,no one seems to care
They already have my name even if I wasn't there

I offer no excuses,I have no alibis
It all seems so useless when I look into their eyes
I'm just a part of a never-ending theme
Right from the start,living in a dream
