Lyrics:
I can climb the highest mountains
If I convince my feet to go
But it's never all that easy
Making diamonds out of coal

And they say the same old things
And I'm right sure it's all for show
They say, "You can make a life worth living 
Just as long as it's for gold."

It's easy to see the clues
Looking on down from my view
I'm in over my head
See through lies 
All opened wide
I'm in over my head

It's all about the journey
Not the vagrants on the road
There's some wisdom gained in battle
A little pain can make you whole

There's some sinners and some saints
Some more close than you could know
They are standing in the shadows
They are fighting for your soul

I'm in over my head

Over My Head

The song Erik Alexander (guitar and vocals), Allen Tsai (violin), Taylor Reese (viola), Jake Williams (bass), and Lewis Pipkin (cello) finished writing, performed, and subsequently recorded in a live setting at Murray State University during Commonwealth Honors Academy, where the group first met each other. Music and lyrics composed primarily by Erik Alexander. Special thanks go to Zach Brown, Hannah Shirkey, and Murray State University.
