I had a friend named Victor |
[00:33.83] |
The two of us used to hang every single day |
[00:35.74] |
And it seemed like overnight that his whole life just changed |
[00:37.64] |
I know when his mom and dad broke up |
[00:40.47] |
It didnt make sense but I know that his dad was a drunk |
[00:43.67] |
And he gambled away the rent |
[00:44.79] |
Pretty soon vic was seein red |
[00:46.24] |
Pissed off but instead |
[00:47.73] |
He drank every night til he passed out |
[00:49.77] |
Then he d do it all again |
[00:50.97] |
The whole time smiling on the outside to cover the pain |
[00:53.39] |
But on the inside all he was tryin to do was get away |
[00:55.68] |
Dying to get away |
[01:00.03] |
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks |
[01:08.50] |
Funny how things change color |
[01:10.33] |
Then fade to another shade |
[01:11.24] |
When you had it made it was all good |
[01:13.26] |
But now look just another day |
[01:14.52] |
It was so fresh it was so clean |
[01:16.01] |
Now its all gone |
[01:16.91] |
123lights out |
[01:18.00] |
Which way to turn |
[01:18.85] |
Can't get a grip |
[01:19.66] |
All alone in a big white house |
[01:20.93] |
Everyday gets worse and you just curse |
[01:22.75] |
'til your head bursts and it hurts so bad |
[01:24.76] |
She left like yourself should have thought of that one first |
[01:26.91] |
No family no kids can t accept what you did |
[01:29.41] |
Now you wanna runaway but you can't cuz the past comes back again |
[01:31.70] |
Slippin through the cracks |
[01:33.57] |
Sip a little jack |
[01:34.25] |
Go to bed half dead |
[01:35.02] |
What about rent |
[01:35.61] |
Why does every cent gotta be a bet |
[01:37.57] |
Whens it gonna end |
[01:38.27] |
Oh my god we dont got a penny left |
[01:39.93] |
My mom s gotta find a way to get a job |
[01:42.15] |
Outta debt outta dodge outta breath outta this big problem |
[01:43.77] |
My pops wanna get away from the pain |
[01:46.62] |
In a better place in his brain |
[01:48.44] |
But the medication he takes makes him wasted |
[01:50.59] |
So sick if hes gonna think the good lord would come take him |
[01:53.89] |
Im shakin him wake up you son of a bitch |
[01:56.95] |
He s dying to get away |
[02:00.17] |
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks |
[02:08.79] |
Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade |
[02:14.57] |
Away From red to black |
[02:20.88] |
He s dying to get away |
[02:24.01] |
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks |
[02:32.79] |
Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade |
[02:38.60] |
Away From red to black |
[02:45.20] |
(Slipping through the Cracks) |
[02:48.86] |
