Plane Crash

You made us a promise, at 5 in the morning,
You were going to stop drinking, this time, for real.

The right engine dies as he fills another glass.

You said you’d get help, you were going to make things better again,
So you’d never lose control of yourself and never humiliate one of us again.

A fire starts in the back as he gulps down a shot.

But you tiptoed right down to the basement,
Looking for the bottles you hid the night before,
And after you drank them till the last drop,
You come and hug us, makings us all hope.

And the plane goes down, faster, faster, faster,
And crashes with a bang.
But dad, we were inside!
