Song #7 in my series of songs based on the 10 stories in Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories, a story called A Circle in the Fire. This song was in no way in response to current events, but if you want to view it in that light, I won't stop you.

lyrics

Don’t say you couldn’t
feel such a thundering rush
Sun like a furnace
Words sparking cinders in the brush

Seasons will flow through your grasp
Sure as the flint sparks the grass

Once, twice
made your excuses
that only makes you a liar
You’ll learn
playing with matches
there’s always threat of a fire

Count all your blessings
There but for the grace of some god
The heart is contagious
One bitter wind and she’s gone

maybe your fortune will last
but nobody gets a free pass, no

Once, twice
made your excuses
that only makes you a liar
You’ll learn
playing with matches
there’s always threat of a fire
always the threat of a fire
you’re pouring gas on a fire
