Fresh out of the military, and oh the things I've seen
From blood, and death, and everything in between
Don't know where to turn, and not sure how to cope
Not sure if I want to live, wonder if there's any hope
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
The divorce is final, and all is set and done
What do I do now, do I just turn and run?
Colors have lost their sheen, and now just look grey
Crippling into massive debt, without a source of pay
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
The money has dried up, and the move made
Moving back with the parents, humility card played
No leads on a job, and isolating myself inside
A piece of me is gone, I can tell that it's died
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
I can't keep going on through life this way
Do I turn back to faith, and begin to pray?
Only time will tell, but this can't become a crutch
I just want to stop drinking, is that asking too much?
Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?

It dialutes your brain and makes you feel hazy
Takes control of everything and makes you kind of crazy
Your face is cold and pale
Your body is so frail
Release me from this nightmare
Feels like I'm in jail
You said you needed saving
But I couldn't help you out
I felt like I was drowning
But I'm here to tell you now
I'm free, free from all the hurting
I made something of myself

Blinded by love,twisted in pain,i didnt think id ever be his victim again,replied when im spoken to,done all that im told,all his meals cooked on time,his washing i fold...look after our children,several trips to the shop,my life aint worth living,wish his drinking would stop...Try my best to help him,try not to get in his way,oneday ill take our children,and have somewhere safe to stay...Cant handle his slaps,the punches,the mental abuse,free from his clutches,i need to break loose...I deserve to be happy,just like my friends,not stuck in this rut,where abuse never ends,i just need my freedom,to do as i please,not cowering in a corner not pleading on my knees...

You watch the news and see all those louts
who drink and abuse, by making fools of themselves
To fix their spews, so they don’t go south
let’s not sell them booze, to feed their mouth

He laid on that cold bathtub lonely and sobbing
looking at his scars and crying
like a baby bawling
But you couldnt see his tears
for all the water falling,
no one heard his voice
except the dealers he was calling.

ALCOHOL ABUSE
I’ve been there done that
The words flow so easily
Lips barely moving
But the eyes start to dance
Try to recall beginnings
I’ve been there done that
Words of both release and grasp
A quiet searching
With noisy implication
As to both past and future
