Austin’s powerful guitar anthem, Peace of Mind, reminds us that violence is a part of our world and always will be. He taps into our frustration with the human race as killers and says we’d have to leave this planet to find peace of mind.
“It seems like we’re just caught up in a cycle of violence... and we just can’t stop killing each other.” - Austin

I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna speak
I don't wanna find out if I'll turn the other cheek
Do what you will
Call me paranoid
But something strange is going on
Can't you hear that noise?
I don't pretend to understand
The policies of powerful men
Or why we have to kill just to live
What I wouldn't give to be free from
This man-made tragedy
Free from the darkness in our lives
With all of our madness and all of our violence
I guess I'd have to leave the earth to find
A little peace of mind
We're sleeping with machines
Losing all our dreams
The best-laid plans are never what they seem
To gain the world and lose your soul
There's never been a heavier toll
Is that any way for us to live?
What I wouldn't give to be free from
This man-made tragedy
Free from the darkness in our lives
With all of our madness and all of our violence
I guess I'd have to leave the earth to find
A little peace of mind
There ain't no stopping the howlin' wind
nowhere to run when the storm begins
We're standing on the edge of eternal change
And nothing we know will ever be the same
And all I want, all I want is a little peace of mind
What I wouldn't give to be free from
This man-made tragedy
Free from the darkness in our lives
With all of our madness and all of our violence
I guess I'd have to leave the earth to find
A little peace of mind
