Reflections from the Edge: Songs for Stepping Back Away is a cinematic, genre-defying concept album that walks the fragile tightrope between despair and resilience, darkness and light, survival and surrender. Drawing inspiration from torch songs, vintage ballads, disco anthems, jazz standards, and sacred requiems, this is not just an album—it is an emotional lifeline, a sonic companion in the silence between breaths.

Created by Akiva David, a seasoned chaplain with over 15+ years of frontline experience ministering to individuals facing mental illness, addiction, trauma, and suicidal ideation, each song is born from real encounters with the human soul in crisis. These aren’t just stories—they’re echoes of whispered prayers, shattered moments, and the sacred tension between holding on and letting go.

This music is not a replacement for therapy—but encouragement to seek medical intervention when warranted.
It does not diagnose or prescribe, but it fosters empathy, reflection, and emotional outreach. It is designed for those moments when words collapse under the weight of pain—when silence screams and the will to live feels like a distant memory.

⚠️ If you are struggling:

Please call or text 988 (U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or visit https://findahelpline.com for confidential support anywhere in the world.

This project exists as a gentle plea:
You are not alone. You are not invisible. You are not finished.
There is love waiting in places you haven’t yet reached.
There is divine attention—a whisper from beyond the edge—reminding you that your soul still matters.
Please, don’t expire before discovering why.

look in a mirror I'm seeing the devil
talked to the omen he said that he needs a vessel
she doing drugs to ease the pain, he said "he wouldn't help you"
I tried to get her out to ease the pain my lucky 7
she looked me in the eyes she said that "being friends was better"
she knew it hurt me, but she said that it was for the better.
2 weeks past I get a text and my heart dropping
they told me that she took her life, "no way to stop it."

you matter btw <3

no way to stop it.

Basically I consider myself part of a crew of outcasts who have bad habits which really make them appear ugly. In reality we’re cool people but don’t always think like that due to depression, drugs and other self made choices. We only got ourselves to blame 🤷‍♂️.

The Ugly (Outcast)

Normally I never cry out for help, but I figured what’s the worst that could happen if I do?

YOLO $ SWAG 4

This one is personal. I’ve lived with depression and suicidal thoughts most of my life. I’ve stayed — through nights I thought I wouldn’t, through scars and silence. But I’ve lost too many friends who didn’t.

I Stayed, I Wish You Had Too is a country/metal hybrid I wrote out of grief, anger, and love. It’s for the ones who couldn’t find a reason to stay, and for the ones still fighting to.

If you’re in that place: reach out. Call someone. In the U.S., dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Wherever you are, find your local hotline or talk to someone you trust. You don’t have to go alone.

I don’t make music to be famous. I make it so no one feels as alone as I did.

For 40 years I’ve carried scars that never seemed to heal. My songs are pieces of that fight—pain, survival, and the long walk through fire. Every beat, every lyric, is a hand reaching back for the ones still trapped in the dark.

I’m AIBRY. A songwriter, a builder, a survivor. My music isn’t polished for the charts—it’s raw, unmasked, and honest. If it keeps even one person breathing through the night, then it’s done its job.
