Trust In Your Future

I can't do this anymore
I'm not a hero, not a savior
But a hollow visage plated up in gold
I can't do this anymore
For the burden of a guilt I never owned
And yet is in control
(Sometimes you must go)
In a while where will I be?
Will I still feel like I am me?
Will I find what I seek?
(Some must be alone)
Swallowed by a sea
Finding up from gravity
Am I crazy?
(Trust in your future)
I'm not that person anymore
But the walls that we put up
They don't come down until you're rotting in your soul
I'm not that person anymore
It's the fear that never leaves us
That prevents us from the knowledge that we're whole
(Sometimes you must go)
Gave away myself for free
Gaining back identity
Find the true reality
(Some must be alone)
It's a lock without a key
It's an unsolved mystery
Am I crazy?
(Trust in your future)
After all the bitter days
You rejected honest praise
Chose to walk the broken ways
And wallow in self-doubt
Blind to what they saw in you
You didn't do what you could do
Threw away the good and true
And you said there's no way out
But there's always a way
But there's always a way
(Sometimes you must go)
Suffer in my ecstasy
I become an effigy
I succumb to fantasy
(Some must be alone)
Time to taste a victory
Time that curses be released
Time to follow dreams
(Trust in your future)

Monochrome

Doing everything for the first time, again
Livin' the same life in a new set of eyes
Spin, spin, spin, until we finally let go
And I need you, wonder if you're with me
Gotta step out on my own
(Whoa, whoa)
Sure you'll be there to meet me
But we're both so far from home
(Whoa, whoa)
Haven't I seen your face somewhere?
I know it's not polite to continue to stare
Your name I once knew so well, stops at the tip of my tongue
And I need you, wonder if you're with me
Gotta step out on my own
(Whoa, whoa)
Sure you'll be there to meet me
But we're both so far from home
(Whoa, whoa)
Before I met you, babe
Everything was monochrome
(Whoa, whoa)
Felt so off my game
Gotten back now to my zone
(Whoa, whoa)
If we both live or die
But then in-between try
Both to open our eyes
At the end we realize
That forgiveness is our prize
Evolution is our prize
Full awareness is our prize
True community will rise
Wish I could see into you like before
Apart makes us understand togetherness more
And isn't understanding what we're here for?
And I need you, wonder if you're with me
Gotta step out on my own
(Whoa, whoa)
Sure you'll be there to meet me
But we're both so far from home
(Whoa, whoa)
Before I met you, babe
Everything was monochrome
(Whoa, whoa)
Felt so off my game
Gotten back now to my zone
(Whoa, whoa)

Daylight
02:56
|

The calm of the storm has come
You'll find your way back home
You'll believe in a future sun
When your heart's prepared to roam
When everything just isn't worth it anymore
You'll find your way out and come walking through that door
Into the sunshine
Into the love
Into the daylight coming down from up above
Into the realization of how much you're worth
There's a reason that you're living on this earth
There's a reason that you walk upon the earth
The rain on the ground is dry
It left a clearer sky
And you've been in the dark
Come on out have another try
When you see that the world is as it should be
You'll find out life is better when you think of all that could be
In the sunshine
In the love
In the daylight coming down from up above
In the realization of how much you're worth
There's a reason that you're living on this earth
There's a reason that you walk upon the earth
Don't ever ask yourself how much you're worth
There's a reason for each one upon the earth

Orion

Orion, I've been lying in the grass for three whole days
Orion, I've been standing all alone for three whole years
Orion, you've been aiming in the dark as long as time
I wonder if what you're shooting at is worth your blood and tears
It's funny, how you hesitate before you let pain go
It's sad, how the dreams you had were never all your own
It's shocking, we're not measured by success, but rather, failure
It's better, when your joy is not a tribute that you owe
Then the past gets louder
She's tugging at your arm
You shouldn't have allowed her
To cause you so much harm
You're aiming at your heart that holds your dreams and all ambitions
The bowstring is all that lies between you and your mission
And you hesitate, can't you let the girl go and move along? No, no, no
I feel your pain, because I know that giving up, it just feels wrong
Then your heartbeat pauses
Could life go on alone?
So many different causes
And none of them your own
You couldn't loose the arrow
Your heart was trapped in love
Is that the reason why, Orion
Is that the reason why, Orion
You still appear above?

Only History
04:10

I wash myself down the drain
Rinse out emotions, try to scrub away the drain
I have nothing left to gain
I have all I need is to give it all away
But there's a winding road before me
Is only mystery
And all I feel right now inside of me
Is only history, oh, oh, yeah
I crucify all my tears
I try to make my mind to disappear
I try to make my skies clear
Guess I'm meant to be this way, at least that's how it appears
But there's a winding road before me
Is only mystery
And all I feel right now inside of me
Is only history
(Don't let it go)
(Don't let it go)
But I wanna let it go, yeah
I wanna let it go
(Don't let it go)
(Don't let it go)
But I wanna let it go
I wanna let it go
I let the past softly die
I've got better things to do than sit and wonder why
I learn how to say goodbye
Not everyone can win, but someone's gotta try
But there's a winding road before me
Is only mystery
And all I feel right now inside of me
Is only history
And all I feel right now inside of me
Is only history
Is only history
Is only history

Four Leaf Clover
05:13
|

Want to express what I should not say
The words will simply get me carried away
And I would love to play
Up and down I swore that I would never let me feel this way
Way, way, way, way better than I should
Untethering my heart could never be this good
Hoping that I haven't misunderstood
But just in case, I better knock on wood
How much more time 'til I'm sober?
Maybe it's real after all
Why did I want to jump over?
How much further do I have to fall?
I find a four leaf clover
Maybe it's real after all, oh
Is risk the only thing that makes me feel? Whoa
Unwrapping bandages because I'm head over heel
Never had considered purple with teal
It's coming out of nowhere, but the moment is real
The here and the now are what I have to hold
The past defined us, but the definition is old
If the future were known and the future were told
Only without precognition could an action be bold
Risk yourself upon intention
Risk yourself not knowing
This, the perfect catalyst for
Understanding, learning, growing
Moving in the direction of a fuller wiser love
We must cultivate affection for the purposes above
Get out of my own way, whoa
Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)
How much more time 'til I'm sober?
Maybe it's real after all
Why did I want to jump over?
How much further do I have to fall?
I find a four leaf clover
Maybe it's real after all
Never want this to be over
Falling, I might as well fall
Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)
Get out of my own way, oh
(Get out of my own way)

Perfect
05:00

The clouds rolling in today
Whose breeze blows them in?
All the players are gonna play
I choose who will win
Everything will go my way
Bright or dark as sin
And the things I need to say
I need to say within
You wanna go home
But you're here
Open your eyes
And look in the mirror
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
See behind the thick façade
Unimpressed with fame
Failing to explain the odd
Reasons why we came
You call an open mind too broad
Until you get the game
You label things as falsely flawed
But I offer no blame
You wanna go home
But you're here
Open your eyes
And look in the mirror
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
Trapped without an out, I cried
And my vision blind
When I taught myself, I lied
Limited my mind
Universe is open wide
Free of every bind
Easter eggs I hid inside
Left for me to find
You wanna go home
But you're here
Open your eyes
And look in the mirror
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect
It's all perfect

Austin R. Scott Seattle, Washington
I grew up in a small town near Carson City, NV. At age 15, I was introduced to Irish session music which became my favorite activity. When I began struggling with depression, songwriting proved itself a valuable outlet. Over the years I've honed the craft, learning how to record, edit, mix and master tracks to professional standards. I'm in the process of building a career on these skills. ... more
