Lyrics
He reaches for the bottle
One last time
He feels the tension mounting
In his body and his mind
It?s only one more swallow then
He?ll turn and walk away
There?s just one more decision
Between tomorrow and today
Chorus
Break the chain, Lord please free me from this prison
I see the door but I can?t go through
My hands are tied, my body bound against redemption
I am lost and know the only path is you
Through the screaming and the slamming doors
There?s a voice that tries to speak
But it?s drowned out by the rage against
The truth he will not seek
There?s a trembling child and sobbing voice
Behind a bolted door
In a room once filled with promise
The laughter sounds no more
Chorus
He gently places memories
From his desk into a box
As he passes down the hallway
Faces turn and people talk
There?s the quiet hush of rumors
Accusations he?s denied
As he passes through the lobby doors
And glances back and cries
Chorus
He reaches for the trigger
One last time
He feels the tension mounting
In his body and his mind
It?s only one more moment
Then it will all just go away
There?s a clatter on the motel floor
As he drops the gun and prays
Chorus
I am lost and know the only path is you
