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 |
