about
Based on a character from Lev Grossman's The Magician King, which is just about my favorite book ever.
lyrics
Long game is long
And my fingers hurt tonight
But I’m still not stopping not stopping not stopping
Till I get it right
Long game is long
And my fingers are on fire
But I’m still not stopping not stopping not stopping
Till I can admire
My handiwork
That came from my own hands
So I’m still not stopping not stopping not stopping
Till I understand
What this power is
That I can feel but I can’t see
And I know it’s real I know you know it’s real
So why did you never come for me
Why did you lie to me
After everything we’ve been through why did you deny me
I’ll learn it myself
I’ll do it myself
I’ll practice myself
I’ll work hard myself
I’ll everything myself
And when I’m done you’ll see
There was always magic in me
Long game is long
But I’ve got my flash of light
So I’m still not stopping not stopping not stopping
While there’s still this fight
Between where I am
And what I know that I can do
So I’m still not stopping not stopping not stopping
Till I catch up to you
So far ahead
You got yours, so where is mine
And they closed the doors I saw them close the doors
But they could not close my mind
They could not find me
Like everyone else they were so far behind me
I’m working myself
I’m pushing myself
I’m training myself
I’m learning myself
I’m everything myself
And when I’m done you’ll see
There was always magic in me
I’ll become
Who I am becoming
And when I’m done then everyone will see
There was always magic in me
