A Cruel Fire {3:45}

Words and music and all instrumentation by Chris Miller
EXCEPT mandolin parts supplied by Cris Bessette courtesy of The Kind, Fudge Brick, The Cleepies et al. Cris also did some pre-production on this one that didn't end up on the mix.  This would be in the way of adding to the scratch track.

VERSE
So, so long
In a perfect world you don't belong
So you hide away
behind the ones who bought the lies you say

CHORUS
A cruel fire burns in your heart
Spare the little one who's life you tear apart

VERSE
How do you sleep at night
Chew up a life in broad daylight
You're a fake
You missed the one chance you didn't take

A cruel fire burns in your heart
The little  one's life you tear apart
A shadow hides you twisted face
One of these days somebody's going to put you in your place

Don't despair little one
one day her spell will come undone
She'll get her turn
Someday I pray
the witch will burn

A cruel fire burns in your heart
One little one's light you chew apart
A blackness lies behind your eyes
One of these days somebody's going to cut you down to size
