I'd seen that look before
As the ghost in the mirror
Smiled its haggard stare
I blinked and stepped away
From shock
Not blinded to the glare

So many nights of drinkers ale
To many spirits high
Had left my face a
Broken soul
My life a drunken fail
Yet I was me inside It all
A mess that's on the rails

This face that fell all from
It's grace
The beauty into beast
The wine of gods had done
As much
Sweet nectar has
Revealed  

My time to change had come about
The mirror scared my soul
The ghost that met my
Reddened eyes
Not welcome anymore
This road so long
The bends not straight
Let water be my wine
So one day ghost you fade away
One day
One day at a time
