"Dead Crows Cannot Fly is a true story of an awakening from a drug-induced near-death experience. It is a story of rebirth and renewal of life purpose. This experience began my devotion to music as a form of healing. Music has always been an outlet for me. What shifted on this day was my commitment; to life, to music, to healing."

Lyrics:
As I wake up from a bad dream

This feeling of death surrounding me

Something in my heart wants to change

In a passionless, sedated haze

Strung out on a pills with a runaway

Another lost soul who's overwhelmed with pain

You say you no longer see a point to life

What's the use of a vision without a light

Your father's always picking fights

Can't hide forever from suicide

And the bruises are only half of it

Inside you always feel like shit

Doesn't seem to be any cure for it,

Just your daily self-prescriptions

(Getting the dose just right)

And as I sit here with you in this purgatory

I purge these man-made poisons from me

And I hope that you will choose to do the same

But you say your overdose was intentional

Your only hope is a final blow

That one day you'll be suspended

And no longer wake again

Oh but I couldn't bear to leave you all alone

The loss of your life might as well be my own

And though my own energy has all but wasted away

I will search my heart for some light

To guide us both through this dark day

So I sit with you in quiet cadence

Searching for comfort in this silence

Reassured that the drugs won't claim our lives today

Oh there is still the heaviness of sorrow

And uncertainty for a safe tomorrow,

But inside I hold a solemn promise,

That I will not leave your side

Because dead crows cannot fly.
