about

Kyler- Almost everyone I know agrees that $$$$$ is A root of all evil, but how many of us act on that principle and live lives demanding physical dependance on Christ instead of just spiritual?

Drew- I wrote these lyrics last summer. I made the decision that writing music was more important than eating well or paying rent. I still owe Aaron money (for other debts), but I'm thankful for the opportunity to explore where true value lies.

lyrics

All our hearts are cold
Seized by siren's songs for gold
Lost in lust, pulled and lulled
Seeking something still to hold

Every man's the same
Every plan is for fame
We will waste away chasing wind
Every man's the same
Every plan is for fame
But we just dig our graves to get in

We are those wasted souls
In the weight of what we own
Tangled love, wasted all
We are bound by what we owe

Every man's the same
Every plan is for fame
We will waste away chasing wind
Every man's the same
Every plan is for fame
We will waste away chasing wind

So where's my crown
Hidden deep in the ground
Buried by burdens
For things better found
And what of a name
Oh, it's lost all the same
Labeled by love
And to hope I am bound

Every man's the same
Every plan is for fame
We'll waste away chasing wind
Every man's the same
Bound by what we proclaim
But we all can change how we live
