They say we all dream,

that fantasy worlds await.

I remember naught

I fell off the couch

Hungry serpents slithered near

Mom did not hear me

stress stress stress stress stress

stress stress stress stress stress stress stress

stress stress stress stress stress

a song made by us, we shiny happy people of wood and paper

a stressful work dream

whoops, an accounting mistake

but easy to fix

missed booking a subledger

it was Keifer Sutherland

Guest wants a coffee
Threw fried eggs in the handsink
Can I still serve them?

exsuscitō
sed lūx non accendit
iam somniō

I wake myself up
But the light does not turn on
Still inside the dream

Note: in the Latin version I'm only counting two morae per syllable for the long vowels, not for the codas. (Japanese barely uses coda, if I do it here the verses get too long.) The English version disregards syllable weight.

Moved my arm upwards

Ended up with a big bruise

Then looked at weather

Flaming meteor Escaping the destruction That was just the start

Dog cut open,

Attacked through the chain link fence

Why did it happen

Chased by bully and run, Sun brings light to new dreams truth, Fire suns light to build new world.

Explanation: I can lucid dream. The sun coming up in the morning woke me enough in the middle of a nightmare where I was running from an old school bully. I used the light of the sun to turn and fire a bolt of energy at the bully at which point I became like Neo and rebuilt the world.
