Red to Black |
I had a friend named Victor |
The two of us used to hang every single day |
And it seemed like overnight |
That his whole life just changed |
I know when his mom and dad broke up It didn’t make sense |
But i know that his dad was a drunk |
And he gambled away the rent |
Pretty soon Vic was seeing red |
Pissed off and instead |
Hed drink every night until he passed out |
And then hed do it all again |
The whole time spelling on the outside |
To cover the pain |
But on the inside |
All he was trying to do was get away |
Trying to get away |
Let the pain of yesterday |
Go slipping through the cracks |
Yo, Funny how things change color |
Than fade to another shade |
When you had it made it was all good |
But now look just another day |
It was so fresh |
It was so clean |
Never saw it gone |
One, two, three |
Lights out, which way to turn |
Can’t get a grip |
All alone in a big white house |
Every day gets worse |
And you just curse until your head bursts |
And it hurts so bad she left |
You think to yourself |
I shoulda thought of that one first |
No family, no kids |
Cant accept what you did |
Now you wanna run away |
But you can’t |
Cause the past comes back again |
Slippin through the cracks |
Have a little shack |
Go to bed half dead |
What about rent |
Why does every cent gotta be a bet |
Whens it gonna end |
Oh my god we dont got a penny left |
My moms gotta find a way |
To get a job, out of debt, out of dodge |
Out of breath, out of this big problem |
My pops wanna get away from the pain |
In a better place in his brain |
But the medication he takes |
Makes him wasted |
So sick if hes gonna faint |
The good lord would come take him |
Im shaking now wake up You son of a bitch! |
He’s trying to get away |
Let the pain of yesterday |
Go slipping through the cracks |
Hiding himself away |
Watching all the memories fade away |
From red to black |
He’s trying to get away |
Let the pain of yesterday |
Go slipping through the cracks |
Hiding himself away |
Watching all the memories fade away |
From red to black |
Slipping through the cracks |
Slipping through the cracks |
Slipping through the cracks |
