Wrote this song for a good friend that past. He'd past from an overdose. During the making of this song he actually died right next to me not knowing he had minutes before injected himself. During the 1-3 minutes of his death 911 was unreachable but was in the process of getting dialed due to the importance of the time on getting his body to the shower to make sure he wakes up. He lived that time. We went out for a few beers not knowing what to do or think after the incident. I guess we celebrated life. A few months past after that near death and the drug addiction got the best of him. Towards the end of the song it fades in and out representing the fight and flight for life and at the end of the song the pitch rises after a fall representing ascension. R.I.P. Steven C. Keep it rocking. :p 

P.S. He gave me permission to post this on his behalf and to share his story of the night the final composition of the song was made.
