Out among the stars I find peace That I can't feel the harm you've caused me. Here amidst the dark I can't see That when you broke my heart You set me free.

Verse 1 At the edge of oblivion In the heart of the unknown I cannot shake the feeling That I'm out here on my own Everything is in chaos It feels like there's no hope I can't help but feel so lost 'Cause I'm so far from home Chorus 1 When the darkness closes in And the pain just doesn't end I need you here When I start to fall down And can't get off the ground I need you here I need you here Verse 2 At the edge of oblivion In the dark, dark shadows I can feel you here with me Almost like a ghost I can feel your loving arms They pull me in so tight I know I'm safe from harm And everything is alright Chorus 2 When the darkness closes in And the pain just doesn't end I feel you here When I start to fall down And can't get off the ground I feel you here Bridge Though the storm rages on You show me that dawn Is just on the horizon When I'm floating astray You show me the way And bring me back to you Outro At the edge of oblivion In the heart of the unknown I feel you here beside me And I don't feel so alone

Sometimes, when I feel alone, I'll go outside and watch the sunset. As the sun disappears over the horizon, I see a familiar star fade in through the evening sky. I can feel this star beckoning, begging me to turn back and come home. Back to the familiarity, back to the comfort and safety I can't go back, not now and not ever. I know that there's another star out there, a brighter star, piercing through the darkness. Waiting to be discovered. Waiting for me to come home. My odyssey is just beginning

about

Have you ever woken up one day to find that home no longer felt like home? Like a part of you that used to be there now beckoned to you from some far off place?
Amidst the Dark tells the story of a young wanderer who feels that his home calls to him from the stars. He leaves everything he knows behind in pursuit of his real home. A cosmic storm interrupts his journey and sets him adrift on the far side of the galaxy. Floating among the stars, he finds peace and solace in the fact that he's not alone on his journey to discover the place he truly belongs.

The focus of this project is on the emotions that occur in the months following a break-up as told through an allegory about traveling through space and into the unknown. In true programmatic fashion, each track tells a different part of the story. The combination of synthesizers and organic orchestral elements helps to develop a variety of styles that will give the project a complete and intricate feel.
