Sobriety
I can't stay here tonight
gotta keep runnin'
but there's nowhere to hide
keep gettin' dragged under
urges build deep inside
control is the problem
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took a while for me to see
Sobriety, brought victory
I can't stay here tonight
temptations weaken me
when we unite
the demons take over
lose track of time
nothing else matters
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
Well I stayed here tonight
took on all comers
stood tall for the fight
attacked from all corners
beat back the night
standing tall on my own now
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
I wrote this a few years back while reflecting upon the lost years to my addiction and recovery from crack *******. that is the sobriety, I speak of..
