Spaceflight Dementia

Drifting along through a starless vacancy Confined within these iron walls A vile technology All the whispers that would rend the quiet sleep Confined within these iron walls A den of secrecy My fears aligning It hurts me so I will not go blindly A wild, roaming, misled route Corrosive specter of doubt On writhing, intertwining pathways in pursuit of sounds That exist beyond perceived reality Extrasensory receptors activating to anticipate The faintest and the fleeting vibrations Pulses of energy! Is that the Signal that I've been seeking? It's just cosmic background radiation from the Epoch of Recombination Interspersed through constellations Receptors at maximum capacity Limitation reached So close to what I need But it's overloading now Dead set on reaching what I've always sought Betting all on this Betting all that I have lost Spaceflight dementia creeps into the mind Delirium, it's going to be a bumpy ride! Undulating lines The colors now collide A ripple bleeding from the ceiling in undulating lines Kaleidoscopic, mezmeroptic, hallucinogenic trines! Breaths, short and fast Oxygen consumed at last Light, it came to me A gleam in my eye
