Austin R. Scott - Orion Lyrics

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?
