Red to Black Songtext
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
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, 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 trying 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 it′s all 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 'til your head bursts
And it hurts so bad, she left, now you suffer
Should′ve thought of that one first
No family, no kids, can't accept what you did
Now you wanna run away, but you can′t
'Cause 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?
When's it gonna end?
Oh, my God, we don't got a penny left
My mom′s 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 he′s gonna think
The good Lord would come take him
I'm shaking 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
Slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Time′s up
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
