A searing, thirsty, tattered wreck
Staggering through the abyss
Respite from this suffering:
A hope I once dismissed
On a quest for preservation
To escape my own negation
I'll employ a novel strategy
And plunge into insanity
Bubbles ripple overhead
Temperature starts to cool
The purest water fills my mouth
In this divine pool
We have an intellectual reach that
No mere bodies can contain
With a leap beyond ancestral bonds
Only fragments will remain
Mind now a part of the
Experience machine;
A sensory extension
Beyond all previous comprehension
Bubbles ripple overhead
Temperature starts to cool
The purest water fills my mouth
In this divine pool
I slip into insanity
In time I'll shed this skin
A golden age is beckoning
Once reborn, mind alive
Embrace this future to survive
The gentle pull of the tide
Its sublime ebb and flow
The soothing spray of stars
Leads me where I must go
Face down on a distant secluded shore
Death only a memory
Insanity: my sanctuary
Our sanctuary
Through an ever-changing oceanic
Flow of information
I'll free myself from the
Confines of this fleshy prison
Memory assimilation
Thought-process integration
Self-concept reformation
Vestigial disintegration
Bubbles ripple overhead
Temperature starts to cool
The purest water fills my mouth
In this divine pool
Technological unification
Initiates this new awakening
