Fever Dream from Readymade by Schlimminy Cricket

I was once so satisfied with simple things
I didn't mind the curdles for the cream
but I grew complicated, and in keeping with that theme
I'm asleep and life's a fever dream
A fever dream created by a frenzied mind and put to work
to make us think it's something more than just a tale told by a jerk
so if the fury and the sound prove something less than what they seem
you're asleep and I'm a fever dream
Listen to the docent on the wetlands cruise
he points you to a bittern and a bream
the moory, marshy mallard makes a mote out of your beam
once a log, but now a beaver's scheme
a beaver's scheme created by a rodent swimming in the lake
he hasn't got a damn to give you, but a dam he sure can make
so if you see him by your wood pile, won't you take one for the team?
that's a joke and I'm a beaver's dream
or I'm asleep and life's a beaver's dream
or you're asleep and I'm a fever dream
no, life's asleep and I'm a fever dream
