Sober Day One
Poured, what I swore would be…. my last bottle
Then lost to temptation, as I crushed…. my final can
I don’t believe me, when I say….it’s over
But for the thousandth time… I’ll make my stand
Now here I am:
Sober day one…..
My eyes are still cloudy as I
Reach out for The Son
A self induced prison
Is what my life’s become
Now here I am
Sober day one
It took a lifetime of living….to get here
Is it my body, or soul…..that I’ve damned
Seems my pride takes the bruise, for excused self abuse
Did I give up, or did I give in…..
Now here I am:
Sober day one…..
My eyes are still cloudy as I…
Reach for The Son
A self induced prison
Is what my life’s become
Now here I am
Sober day one
When there’s questions for answers… it’s heartbreak
Seems my decisions and free will….failed me
Was I living to die….this whole time
I’ll ask forgiveness, but I’m not deserving….
Now here I am:
Sober day one
There’s no sky, no forgiveness
And certainly…..no trace of The Son
My price eternal
It was such a great one
Now I’m sober….
Sober day one
Who’d have thought that the demons
I fought would have won
Forever sober
Sober….day….one…
