[Intro]

Life is like a fire; Sometimes you fail, hit lows, and burn to ashes, but ultimately, in the end, those ashes and lows help fuel us throughout the rest


[Verse]

First a question

Why does life have to be the way it is cause I don’t get it

My head is spinning

Always wondering about my morals every single minute

I’ve got so many thoughts running through my brain

So many helpless ideals I don’t understand

Wish I could numb them all like novocaine

But they keep racing on like bullet trains

So much change. Every day

So many people surrounding me

So much new and these things are strange

So many new unfamiliar faces

But how must I cope. With these new things

And when will they start to feel normal again

When will I start to feel one in the same

Because too much pressure and I might suffocate

But hey, let's look on happier side

On everything that is right

Look at your life

Take a step back to appreciate and you might be surprised

There’s love and there’s hate but that keeps the scale even

Cause if all was the same then there would be no seasons

If you block out emotions then there’d be no feeling

If all was just grey then there would be no meaning

It's like fire, every moment’s important

Handling it’s tough but what you get back is more than

All of it matters the cold and the warmth

Because every fire tells a unique story

Every time, you feel like giving up just feel the fire inside, that’s where it resides

Just keep on adding that firewood to help you struggle on throughout your life

And I know that it may be tough but you must take of it and never cease to keep trying

Because that fire inside is your life and if you stop trying than you’ll die (woah)

I don’t wanna talk about what happens after life cause that’s not what this song is about (ay)

It’s about all of the highs and the lows that will happen while you are still around

Cause fires don’t last forever

But they will live on

With every campfire song, joy that is caused

With the ashes that the plants in the ground gain from

The impact’s tremendous

It is insane how much joy we can witness

And gain from others’ remnants

Because they may not still be around we can still feel their fire within us

I’ve been thinking

Bout life and all of its meanings

Bout all the things that I believe in

Things I’ve never seen and

Especially the things that I only see and experience while I am dreaming

Soundtrack of my life is this album my hymnal

Cause lately I been all alone with my mental

And I don’t mean to sound dark and dismal

But isn’t it ironic life’s the thing that kills us

Just like how the fire will burn itself out

And all of its preciousness comes crashing down

So what was the purpose your wondering now

Don’t forget the good that came while it was around

But that’s how life goes

With the highs and the lows

And the ups and the downs

And still it never slows

But I still flow, I still go

I struggle through it all

I still choose to stand tall

What happens I don’t know

Cause life is unpredictable, just like a fire

And which part am I, the sticks or the lighter

Or am I the ashes, the things that come last

The things that are reused just to reignite it, I'm gone
