about

Written in 2017.

I wrote this song while working on this album. It's about realizing that you need to make a massive change in your life, being fearful of the change, but embracing it.

lyrics

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)

about

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
