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.

I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.

Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.

It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.
