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 didnt make sense but I know that his dad was a drunk
|
And he gambled away the rent
|
Pretty soon vic was seein red
|
Pissed off but instead
|
He'd drink every night til he passed out
|
Then he’d do it all again
|
The whole time smiling on the outside to cover the pain
|
But on the inside all he was tryin to do was get away
|
|
He's dying to get away
|
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks
|
|
Yo, Funny how things change color
|
Then 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
|
Now its all gone
|
1, 2, 3, lights out
|
Which way to turn
|
Can't get a grip
|
All alone in the big white house
|
Everyday gets worse and you just curse
|
'til your head bursts and it hurts so bad
|
She left like yourself should have thought of that one first
|
No family, no kids, can’t accept what you did
|
Now you wanna runaway but you can’t cuz the past comes back again
|
|
Slippin through the cracks
|
Sip a little jack
|
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 mom’s gotta find a way to get a job
|
Outta debt, outta dodge, outta breath, outta 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 he was gonna think the good lord would come take him
|
Im shakin him wake up you son of a bitch
|
|
He’s dying 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 dying 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
|
