Last Night's Dream
Story
This started out as a retelling of dreams, just like the title says. That set of lyrics turned out to be pretty amorphous, so I made it into a story instead.
Lyrics
It’s like a caffeine rush in the middle of a stormAction fulfilling every reason I was born
I’m juggling all my problems at the speed of Data
It feels completely real, and I know when I awaken
I’ll remember everything
Because of my new dream machine
I’ve never lived so vividly
As I slept in Last Night’s Dream
Office was so familiar, it felt like I was born there
But my cubicle had twice the room within the same small corner
There were papers strewn about like every day
But my PC reacted to the things I’d say
Coworkers showed no emotion
They were moving in slow motion
Then a digitized voice said "Please,
Won’t you come have a byte with me?"
I started writing artificial intelligence
The doctor says my hypothalamus is out of balance
And now your personal computer talks to you
It does what you want, and not just what you tell it to
I haven’t slept in ten years
Afraid the memory will disappear
The face that’s on your computer screen
Is the one from my Last Night’s Dream
