I've been clean since 1983
Don't recall the Steelers Dynasty
Thought a lot on what forgiveness means
Can't say I've figured out
I beat him bloody more than halfway dead
I was blackout blind from booze and meds
Now I stock the shelves at CVS
For the most part I sleep sound
Haven't picked a higher power yet
But I pray for his help twice a day
Wonder if just getting out of bed
Was all they meant by getting saved
By the razor blades I saw him there
Brother pushing him in his wheelchair
Thought to walk their way but wouldn't dare
Just ducked away before they'd see
Punch the clock but I'm not leaving here
Locked door blubbering in the bathroom mirror
Stomach twisting less like guilt than fear
There's no grace that's meant for me
There's no grace that's meant for me
I've been clean since 1983
That's three decades I'd no right to see
Thought a lot on what forgiveness means
I can't say I figrured out
