Nights Follow Days
STEPHEN NICHOLAS SCHILTZ
To all the demons I have known
To all the ghosts I had before
When there was no high ground in the flood
When there was no shelter from the storm
Oh the sky lights are blue
And they fall over you
And form a picture of grace
All around your face
This is to all the friends I had before
The ones I cared about back then
Oh the ones that you love
Are the ones that you hurt
Over and over, you do it over and over again
Oh but nights follow days
And nights are hollow and gray
In so many, so many ways
To all the demons I have known
I am no longer in your grasp
There's nothing beautiful in blood
There's nothing precious in the past
Oh the sky lights are blue
And they fall over you
Over and over again
