Empty Faith (strings version)21

Posted In Original Videos, Videos

Written June 2009

Lyrics:

We hold our Bibles high
And we say we’re right
We’ll give you the perfect lines then run and hide

Cant we see we’ve lost the way
Cant we see that its all just fake
As long as they’re watching everything’s fine

Where are you in all of this
We use your name but destroy your image

I say I’m different but I just look the same
So I am over all this empty faith
I’ve been changed by a love I cant explain
So I am over all this empty faith

We’ll white-wash the outside
We’ll do everything right
As long as they’re watching everything’s fine

You ask for more
You search the heart of me
Change the heart of me

    [..YouTube..] its always ashame to see such talent wasted on an uncreative genre of music. the last thing anyone needs is another slow acoustic song that speaks so directly to god, at the same time describing some physical action (thats supposed to be spiritual) thats supposed to please him. it reminds me of the assholes at my school that wear abercrombie have short hair and only know how to play cover songs about Jesus. where is the creativity where is the passion WHERE IS THE MUSIC?
