The debut single from Texas progressive metal band, Halogen

lyrics

The night sky forms constellations
Glowing, burning, looking down at me
Never knowing our true potential
As we strive for perfection now

We forget how wretched we can be
Into the blackness
That no eye could ever see
I live my life in regret
Empty, I'm not fully living
Inside... Inside...
Inside the delusions of my mind
Never knowing how to end the darkness clouding my esoteric thoughts

I walk this void alone inside of my lost consciousness
I count the steps that I take leaving trails behind
Stand before the light and stare into the sun
Failing to realize that I have no way to contain it
Immortalize the life that I've created here
The prophecy was never foretold
Standing at the edge of the world
With an everlasting
Illusion of hope

Confined to this existence
Bound into the ever black
Levitating
Into the skyline

Inside of the drift
We've all taken for granted
Will this all be worth it to you?
The life that I take is slowly drifting away

I stare into the sky
For something to find
Define my mind
I see now the true reality

Your last breath of life returns upon your grave

Lost before our thoughts of deception
Waiting for the eternal life
Can you feel this moment escaping you now, as you reach for it?

Betraying our minds since the inception
Waiting for the internal lie
Untold ending closely now, what side will you choose inside the great eternal divide?

Journey To The Stars
by Widek

supported by 4 fans who also own “Orion”

Significantly heavier and proggier than Outside the Universe, this album also lives up to its name. In general, Widek is a very cosmic-themed project but this album really hits with those space vibes. The atmosphere is so celestial and beautiful, even among the heaviness, but it also makes you feel like you're swimming in a limitless expanse. If you are burned out on life, listen to this album and it'll take you on a serene, solitary Journey to the Stars! Challenging Apathy
