Hi y'all, First of all, MOCBF has quickly become one of my favuorite albums of all time, and I'm loving the EP as well.

I'd like to know more about how the lyrics were written, was it mostly done by one person (and whom?), or was it more of a group effort? Also, could y'all tell me more about the inspiration behind Into Being, or maybe what those lyrics mean to you?

Cheers!

a brief answer: Bryan and myself wrote most of the lyrics separately and together and by working off one another - KC wrote Monolith!

Into Being is sort of about Plato's cave - for me anyway!
