A Day Long Gone

Amounting to everything we took to blame.
I brought warmth to our freezing cold name.
Winter's blizzard paled our skin and blued our lips.
I never did take the time to appreciate our long trips.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be mercifully tried and true.
But I was put here to fight demons for me and you.
The demons came at me with their fire and claws.
They cut me open and revealed I had their flaws.

And slowly I too became the demon I tried to kill.
But eventually I got sick and tired of Satan's will.
I turned on the demons I stood beside.
I gave them one hell of a bloody ride.

They pointed me proclaiming me to be a heretic.
I laughed saying that I'm just a boy named Nick.
Angrier, they descended upon me full speed.
Oblivious to their wants and their greatest need.

I forgot many things in this rut of disastrous fashion.
But I didn't forget to befriend, I didn't forget passion.
These soles were made to walk on water.
Forged by Jesus, son of God almighty father.

Snap back to reality, I'm just boy in bed.
Hanging back with my friend Forever Red.
Eyes still heavy and it's not even dawn.
I smile and put if off for a day long gone.
