("Captain's log: Captain Vadis Day 2 of the mission. We've reached and stabilized at a safe distance from Earth to prevent re entry of the pods once ejected.... *sigh* I wanna make it very clear that I do not agree with nor condone the actions decided upon by the council; These are people !, Regardless of their mental stability.....Yet the council fears them otherwise I wouldn't be here, about to jettison these human beings into the cold void.......To their certain Doom") Fragments of time swirling and twisting, sublime ramparts of existing scenes Played out before my eyes then torn from my sight shrieking screams, illuminating thoughts and dreams As reality peels away I no longer know this place or date Entering a world lost to humanity Dwelling in my own absurdity. Listen to my insanity Grand delusions of actuality Let me place this fear in you So you feel the pain I go through Haunted every minute not knowing if I'm alive, inescapable despair and pleasure through cataclysmic fears Haunted every minute not knowing if I'm alive, inescapable despair and pleasure through cataclysmic fears Here I experience love and hate Each door I open changes my fate Emotionally distraught ending ties with your lot. Envying your existence. Lost in my partitions. Fantastic visions, terrifying aural transmissions A voice that soothes my wounds, Surging through me, it cracks and booms Destroying myself on every plane As I eat my own shame

Reflections from this shuttle window that shows me inside I have felt for so long The emptiness of this grey life Eating away at my soul Plaguing all hope No survival destination zero. Can I accept this fate The effects of my hate A doomed trip Wandering in and out of sleep Strangeness getting steep Sinking into an ever darkening Hole I await My own arrival below.... Here I am to watch me die Emanating from this shell I leave behind The ghost I am, the human I was Lives no more Shall I survive or die ! Drifting through this infinite dark ocean of stars Dead weight I see myself yet can't awake my body Deep dread filling a dead heart and pulse I hide ?! Sleep no more ...death take me away fear burns me inside Visions growing strong swirling black Dimensions beyond sight and sound Filling me with life unbound I can't come back I've passed a veil An energy a blessing a power enormously rife, sickening agenda universally haunting and alive Here I am to watch me die Emanating from this shell I leave behind The ghost I am, the human I was Lives no more Shall I survive or die ! Drifting through this infinite dark ocean of stars Dead weight I see myself yet can't awake my body Deep dread filling a dead heart and pulse I hide ?! Sleep no more ...death take me away fear burns me inside

In a void no life no light blinded ....clarity in hindsight Pulled in by this abyss. Feeling the darkness. (A) spirit longing, so far from home Contradiction howl as I spin amongst particles of everything Split myself transformed Fearing an end Darkness surrounds me! (Vostry) Seeing all through the vision of my mind (Hall) Anger embodies Me! (Vostry) Awaking a rage of passion burning for life (Hall) Death devours me ! (Vostry) Numb to emotion, escaping light (Hall) Swallowed by Oblivion! (Vostry) Turned inside out my world collides with reality (Hall) Can you feel the sinking into this Black Expanse ? Worming its way inside warping my mind to advance Blinding stars absorbing my soul I can now let go of this meager existence/resistance Emptiness of this shell An imagined physical pain Frozen universal spell Cosmic rays filling all thoughts A poisonous sickening plot Hidden in a cold womb Awaiting my bloom/doom Can you feel the sinking into this Black Expanse ?l Worming its way inside warping my mind to advance Blinding stars absorbing my soul I can now let go of this meager resistance Breathless I renounce my whole, Dark nebulas clouding this existence/resistance Falling into a contorted form Living misshapen swarm Fluttering Aching Trembling Attempting a breath I choke Scarce emotions twitching me Emerging now Having opened the gate Pandorum is my fate.
