Magic And Loss - The Summation Lyrics - Reed Lou

When you pass through the fire 

you pass through humble 

You pass through a maze of self doubt 

When you pass through humble 

the lights can blind you 

Some people never figure that out 

You pass through arrogance you pass through hurt 

You pass through an ever present past 

and it's best not to wait for luck to save you 

Pass through the fire to the light 

As you pass through the fire 

your right hand waving 

there are things you have to throw out 

That caustic dread inside your head 

will never help you out 

You have to be very strong 

'cause you'll start from zero 

over and over again 

And as the smoke clears 

there's an all consuming fire 

lying straight ahead 

They say no one person can do it all 

but you want to in your head 

But you can't be Shakespeare 

and you can't be Joyce 

so what is left instead 

you're stuck with yourself 

and 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 humble 

when you pass through sickly 

When you pass through 

I'm better than you all 

When you pass through 

anger and self deprecation 

and have the strength to acknowledge it all 

When the past makes you laugh 

and you can savour the magic 

that let you survive your own war 

you find that fire is passion 

and there's a door up ahead not a wall 

As you pass through fire as you pass throgh fire 

try to remember it's name 

When you pass through fire licking at your lips 

you cannot remain the same 

And if the building's burning 

move towards that door 

but don't put the flames out 

There's a bit of magic in everything 

and then some loss to even things out
