lyrics

Ambition!
I caught you again!
Ambition!
You too the reigns again!

How many times must you fail
Before the lesson’s learned?

Ambition!
My old sad friend… let’s go

What drives a man up a mountain?
Or frees a statue from the stone?
What makes a burned out poet try
To say something with the same old notes?
When there’s no one listening
And you’re getting old?

Ambition!
You still take hold… come on now, take my hand now…

Fear!
You killed me again!
Fear!
I’m staying home again

Afraid of rejection mostly
Afraid of correction, partly
Afraid that sincerity
Might not be good enough… cause it’s not…

Kristopher Wright Austin, Texas

Kris is too tired to write yet another biography in the third-person in an attempt to trick you guys into thinking he has a publicist or something. Just listen to the songs or don't. I don't care anymore.
