Look Down Your Nose

Описание: You light a candle like it’s theater
Like you’re humoring the flame
You whisper words half-hearted
Like you’re embarrassed by your own name

You want the door to open
But you laugh at the key
You want the sky to answer
While doubting what you see

You can’t mock the current
And expect it to move
You can’t stand in the circle
With something to prove

You can’t practice magic
While you look down your nose at it
You can’t hold the spark
If you don’t respect the habit

You can’t call for wonder
Then roll your eyes at the light
You can’t summon the unseen
While refusing the sight

It’s not about incense smoke
Or the words you recite
It’s the way you stand still
When you feel the night

It’s the way you believe
Without flinching away
It’s the quiet surrender
Not the game you play

Magic don’t answer
To ego or pride
It doesn’t bloom
Where doubt tries to hide

You can’t practice magic
While you look down your nose at it
You can’t want the harvest
If you won’t sow the habit

You can’t chase the mystery
With a skeptic’s disguise
You can’t open the veil
With half-closed eyes

Faith isn’t foolish
Wonder ain’t weak
The power you’re searching for
Is the power you speak

But it won’t bend
To a sneer or a joke

You can’t practice magic
While you look down your nose at it
Respect the fire
If you want to hold it
