Magic And Loss - The Summation - Lyrics by Reed Lou


Lyrics
When you pass through the fireyou pass through humble
You pass through a maze of self doubt
When you pass through humblethe lights can blind you
Some people never figure that out
You pass through arrogance you pass through hurt
You pass through an ever present pastand it's best not to wait for luck to save you
Pass through the fire to the light
As you pass through the fireyour right hand wavingthere are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your headwill never help you out
You have to be very strong'cause you'll start from zeroover and over again
And as the smoke clearsthere's an all consuming firelying straight ahead
They say no one person can do it allbut you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeareand you can't be Joyceso what is left insteadyou're stuck with yourselfand a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And jsut this moment
This wonderful fire started up again
When you pass through humblewhen you pass through sickly
When you pass through
I'm better than you all
When you pass throughanger and self deprecationand have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laughand you can savour the magicthat let you survive your own waryou find that fire is passionand there's a door up ahead not a wall
As you pass through fire as you pass throgh firetry to remember it's name
When you pass through fire licking at your lipsyou cannot remain the same
And if the building's burningmove towards that doorbut don't put the flames out
There's a bit of magic in everythingand then some loss to even things out
