lyrics

Iridescent lines connected to the structure’s eye
 Monuments assembled by the serpent in the sky
 Lights align against the columns grafted to the dirt 
Shapes connect obsidian transistors to the earth  

Wait, I’m dreaming in reverse 
The sky begins to burst
 Falling through these eyes 
Lights collide

  Serpent coil around me 
Feathers black like drowning
 In the sky above the crater 
Of your mind’s voices sounding

  I can feel the weight of  everything
collapsing and bending  
distorting and rending  the nothingness of everything
Is ending  

The stars begin to dance
 Like water through the sand
 Ascend this weathered skin
 Awakening

Serpent coil around me
 Feathers black like drowning
 In the sky above the crater 
Of your mind’s voices sounding

(  I can feel the weight of  everything collapsing and bending  distorting and rending  the nothingness of everything is ending)

A Dream In Static

The score to an excellent movie playing out in my mind's eye. Leterren

Journey To The Stars
by Widek

supported by 55 fans who also own “B'ak'tun”

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
