Song lyrics

I had a friend named Victor
The two of us used hang every single day
And it seemed like overnight that his whole life just changed
I know when his mom and his 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's drink every night ‘till 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Tak:]
Funny how thing 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 ‘till 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 accept what you did now you wanna
Run away but you can't ‘cause the past comes back again

[Ryu:]
Slippin' through the cracks sip a little Jack
Go to bed half dead
What about a 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
Outta debt outta dodge out of breath out of this big problem
My pop's 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 to take him
I'm shaking him
Wake up you son of a bitch!

[Chorus x3]
Slipping through the cracks…
