Fort Minor - Red To Black Ft. Feat. Styles Of Beyond lyrics

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 drank every night til he pa**ed out then he'd do it all again the whole time he was fine on the outside to cover the pain but on the inside all he was tryin to do was get away Dying to get away Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks 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 cant get a grip all alone in a big white house everyday gets worse and your just cursed 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 moms 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 if hes gonna think the good lord would come take him Im shakin him now wake up you son of a b**h 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)
