[00:32.40]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）
