Sower - rocky ground (false conversion) - anthem for apostasy

Jesus told the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:1-23. He talks about 4 different kinds of soils; the path, rocky ground, thorns, and the good soil.
Sower has written an EP inspired by these 4 soils called "the soil". the path (unbelief) is the first song from the EP.
Unfortunately, I have seen this story play out more times than I'd like to admit. It's very sad to watch someone get excited by Jesus, only to turn back to their doubt and hopelessness. Jesus tells us why this happens:
John 3:19-21
[19] And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. [20] For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. [21] But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (ESV)
02 rocky ground (false conversion) - LYRICS
So I went down to the front
And fell to my knees
I was done with all this running
And running in place
And my sadness went away
Just like the man said
And I’ll give it up
If giving up means getting in
I started out fine
On fire
But was I thinking clear
And now that everything is gone
My heart is calling home
I’m trying but I’m loosing faith here
Exhale I need to breath
Is there something that I missed
When I chose to believe in You
I was told this would be easier than living
Than living how I wanted to
I started out fine
On fire
But was I thinking clear
And now that everything is gone
My heart is calling home
I’m trying but I’m loosing faith here
Exhale I need to breath
And I’ll believe when I can see
I’m done now
I’m leaving
I’m going back to where I came from
I’m done now
I’m going back
I started out fine
On fire
But was I thinking clear
And now that everything is gone
My heart is calling home
I’m trying but I’m loosing faith here
Exhale I need to breath
And I’ll believe when I can see
