BREAK FREE. Written by Michael Quigley.

[Verse 1]

Sunrise chases shadows through my rusty screen door.

Past the empty bottles rollin scattered on the floor

Last night I swore the devil had taken hold of me.

But today I'm fighting harder cause I wanna break free.


[Verse 2]

Twelve steps at a time through the fog of memories.

I've got a picture of my parents and I know they still believe.

The mirror shows a stranger I don't wanna know no more.

So I take my higher powers hand as I rise up off the floor.


[Chorus]

Whiskey on the shelf ain't no friend to me

Gonna trade these chains of sorrow for grace and purity.

Though the road is lonesome and the nights are long

With every step to freedom I'm gonna sing this sober redemption song.


[Verse 3]

The whiskey man can't get me now, well at least not for today.

Prayer and meditation keep that mean son of a bitch away.


[Chorus]

Whiskey on the shelf ain't no friend to me

Gonna trade these chains of sorrow for grace and purity.

Though the road is lonesome and the nights are long

With every step to freedom I'm gonna sing this sober redemption song.


[Bridge]

Gonna find my way now gonna make it through the night.

With my higher power in charge, I no longer have to fight.

I’m safe and protected, I’m no longer alone,

I can’t believe the whole time I was lost, I was only 12 steps from home.
