Fire

Wrote this song tonight. iphone memo recording.

i built a fire
in the back and then i 
went and made myself a snack and then I 
i took your letters to the
flickering light
and watched the smoke curl up like
a genie in the night

and then i ate my snack
out by the fire
and I could have had a drink
but had no desire
and then i 
i took your letters 
one by one 
and ripped them all 
to pieces
just to have some fun 

and then I 

watched the fire roar
and it swallowed you up whole
i'll never hear your voice again
that's the fucking goal
i watched the fire roar
and your voice has left my head
there was a demon in me
but now that demon's dead

i'll build a fire 
anytime i find a 
kink in the flow of 
my piece of mind and i'll 
i'll build a fire 
to ease the pain
a crazy looking ritual 
done to keep me sane

I watched the fire roar
and it swallowed you up whole
i'll never hear your voice again
that's the fucking goal
i watched the fire roar
and your voice has left my head
there was a demon in me
but now the demon’s dead
