Alcohol's Chain of Heartache

Drinking to ease life's hurt away
You're trapped in a bottle with no way out
Believing this is what life's all about
The chains of alcohol hold on tight
Squeezing out every ounce of light
Your children deeply ache to feel your love
But you're numbed by alcohol's smothering glove
They sit helplessly by and pray for a break
Hoping to crumble the chain of heartache
But slowly they realize with despair in their heart
That love isn't enough to bring on a new start
