Austin 04:08
When I turned 23, I took some time off To follow my dreams, see what they're made of I have to make sure that my life will be worth The time I was given to live on this earth... I packed up my bags, and I hit the road I won't stop till I hit the MoPac There I'll find, peace of mind Oh Austin, you're all I have left You're the sum of my parts The life in my breath Oh Austin, you're the chance that I need You're the fire in my eyes The will to believe…in myself I can't wait to see my violet crown And I know, yes I know, she won't let me down College swag, on the drag Oh Austin, you're where I belong You're the family I lost The choice to be strong Oh Austin, you're the chance that I need You're the fire in my eyes The will to believe…in myself

Look My Way 03:03
Waiting in the darkness for you Waiting in the rain, patiently Trying to draw the searchlight towards me Trying to ease the pain, look my way It hurts to find, ten million waiting in line What do I do, I'm nothing special to you It hurts to see, it's just a game of pick and choose Enjoy your toys cause I'm walking away, gonna find some one who'll look my way They swarm around you like fruit flies Tell you sweet lies, you attention whore And each of them is quite prolific In their own way quite terrific, but you want more They fall into your eyes But I see your disguise For them madness lies All I know is I'm gonna go far, gonna jump the #@$! out of this moving car Time will set me free Time will let be who I wanna be Time will heal my scars Time will end this war with you Time is all I need

Pass Over 02:13
They told me not to stray too far away from you Or I would surely lose my way, no follow through So I read the books they told me too, they were about you Still I don't have a clue Slowly fade away Don't look back, don't try to stay Release their grasp from your shoulders Don't look back, it's time to pass over Pass over (x4) I don't think I'll ever see the light I can't turn off this switch you put in my head She said maybe, I said maybe not

People that I know are moving by quite fast Some are miles ahead and seem to have no past But I'm still stuck inside my head That little small town in my head I really want to get ahead Memories have always been my greatest friend They've got me through the darkest nights - they've been godsend But it's time to let some go So I can find some room to grow They'll come back to me I know It may not be true, it can't be construed But I have to believe That there's someone I'll meet, who'll wipe me off of my feet Yes I have to believe It may not be true, it can't be construed But I have to believe That I'll figure this out, what my life's all about Yes I have to believe

Opening/Closing Sections Voices 1 and 2 "Hey pretty mama, I know, pretty mama, I'm slow, pretty mama don't go Once I'm awake they'll be no stopping me I'll be ten times the man you thought I'd be (just wait you'll see)" Voices 3 and 4 "Room to run, I need, room to run, so that I I can show you how far I've come" Middle Section "Thought I was ready to jump in the ditch And roll in the dirt with you But then I realized that you just wouldn't do I have to look straight at the truth So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2) They told me to let go of my sense of taste So I could grow hard for you So I closed my eyes, let my right hand decide The room was as white as could be So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2)"

about

This one has been a long time in the making, and I’m finally ready to let go and give it to the world. It’s been a labor of love and I hope you guys enjoy listening as I much as I enjoyed putting it all together. These songs are for all of you - I hope they find a home in your beautiful minds.

Dedicated to my father. None of this would have been possible without your love, support, and encouragement.
