Lyrics: Ambition Strained

by blinding my eyes to what i feel, i'm opening wounds i've never healed. imagining scars that were never there, ignoring solutions that were once so clear. underestimating my self worth, far behind, i'm feeling for my rebirth. faces look back in the mirror next to me, inside, a fire burns deep in me. this twisting world that i thought i once knew, let go of what's mobile and begin anew. what was once shattered glass in the eyes of my dreams, is a harmless regression to days unseen. /sometimes i feel i've never changed, but in some ways i'm not at all the same, and always one day late./ lost in the dark, with only the fire in my heart to light the way. my ambition strained, with only one final day to make amends pay.

explanation:

lyrics by jon.

This song is for all who underestimate their true value in the world. By letting yourself to continually believe you aren't good enough, you not only bring yourself down, but you shelter yourself from many beautiful experiences. With help of those closest to you, you will notice that things aren't ever as bad as they seem -- unless you allow them to be. It's never too late to change anything, so start now. -Jon
