I'm very reluctant to put my words into God's mouth.

Music is mere tuning a song with words; to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.

Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.

What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.
