Lyrics:
There in your cubicle
Don’t let your work around you
Box you in like a criminal
So when your work surrounds you
Know when to let it go
Know when to let it go

There in your cubicle
You’re faced with stacks of paper
And while it may be difficult
You can’t always be the savior
Know when to let it go
Know when to let it go

Close to burning out to your detriment
Once again you’re working late but your energy is spent
And there’s little you’ll accomplish in spite of your intent
So let me say to you, it’s ok if you leave your cubicle
You’re not a criminal

There in your cubicle
Remember all the pictures
They make your life so very full
And must remain a fixture
Don’t ever let ‘em go
No never let ‘em go

Close to burning out to your detriment
Once again you’re working late but your energy is spent
And there’s little you’ll accomplish in spite of your intent
So let me say to you, it’s ok if you leave……your cubicle

Is the work you set aside so critical?
If not then let it slide for it’s minimal
 ‘cause one by one the work gets done
so get out of there and have some fun

Instead of burning out to your detriment
There’s no point in working late if your energy is spent
There’s little you’ll accomplish in spite of your intent
So let me say to you, it’s ok if you leave……. your cubicle
You’re not a criminal
In your cubicle
You’re not a criminal
In your cubicle

Cubicle

My song for introverts.

Lyrics:
There in the middle of the crowd you’re so engaged
A confident actor taking command of the stage
When I’m in the spotlight I make due with fewer words
The feeble reaction is not the fate that I deserved

And when that happens I feel the hurt
‘cause that’s the life of an introvert
how does it feel when everybody loves you
that is something I’d like…………………… to know

You look so regal, like a king you’re holding court
And I am the jester who’s afraid of falling short
The ease of your banter makes it seem like just a breeze
When it’s my turn, I’ve a tendency to freeze

And when that happens I feel the hurt
‘cause that’s the life of an introvert
how does it feel to say the things you want to
that is something I’d like…………………… to know

From my own perspective you’re a celebrity
I know it’s subjective but that’s how it feels to me
To me…

And when that happens I feel the hurt
 ‘cause that’s the life of an introvert
how does it feel when everybody loves you
that is something I’d like

And when that happens I feel the hurt
‘cause that’s the life of an introvert
how does it feel to say the things you want to
that is something I’d like…………………… to know
to know (4x)

Something I'd Like To Know

The plight of the groundhog serves as a metaphor for one's fear of confrontation.

Lyrics:
I’m afraid of my own shadow
Run and hiding when I can
To my place of isolation
A place where I don’t need to take a stand

Down in my hole again 
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again

Avoiding confrontation
A skill I’ve turned into an art
I can feel when it comes my way
And it won’t be long before I soon depart

Back to my hole again 
Back to my hole again
Back to my hole again
Back to my hole again

Out here in the wilderness
Life can be a really cold hard slog
And rather jump into the fray
Sometimes I feel like an old groundhog
I feel like an old groundhog

Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again

Groundhog

Lyrics:
When you’re feeling like you failed
And you’re thinking your ship has sailed
Let me tell you something that may save you
Keep on learning from your mistakes
And you’ll get that decisive break
Just keep saying I will persevere

On my own terms
In my own right
In my own way
My own flight

Yeah on my own terms
In my own right
In my own way
My own flight

The naysayers will make you feel
Your objectives are far from real
They will tell you don’t bother you won’t break through
Be defiant, be resolute
And accept no substitute
Just keep saying I will persevere

On my own terms
In my own right
In my own way
My own flight

Yeah on my own terms
In my own right
In my own way
My own flight

It’s my own flight
And my own right
It’s my own life

My own terms
My own right
My own way
My own flight

Yeah on my own terms
In my own right
In my own way
My own flight
For it's my own life

My Own Terms

With a rich sound drawn primarily from his love of 60s and 70s music, New Yorker Scott Krokoff (pron: Crow-Cough) weaves elements of folk rock & country pop into confessional and compelling Americana.  He is an evocative and introspective songwriter, and a deft finger-picker in the vein of James Taylor and Paul Simon with “an edge of Replacements styled alt rock to his strum” (Hiplanta).  Scott has opened for Elle King and Grace Weber, toured from Vermont to Nashville, played live in Belgium for his biggest fan, and received radio airplay throughout the US, Canada and Europe.

Leading independent publisher, Music-news.com (which has retained the top "music news" Google search position for 16 years), calls Scott a "favourite" and his latest single, My Own Terms, "inspiring and powerful," noting that "[t]he second that kick drum comes in to start the song, you can't help but immediately want to hop in a convertible, put your arms out and ride off into the next chapter of your life."  Music-News.com was also a fan of Scott's last single in 2019, Groundhog, remarking that Scott's music "has a compelling way of instantly drawing the listener in."  Medium.com called Scott's first 2019 single, Cubicle, "a sublimely gorgeous song." 

Scott’s last record, 2015’s Realizations & Declarations, Vol. 2, also received rave reviews praising Scott’s “graceful tales of morality and perseverance” (The Vinyl District) and "music in the vein of 1960s and ’70s songsmiths, but also recalling hot up-and-comers like Father John Misty” (PopDose).
