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…
