Red to Black (feat. Kenna, Jonah Matranga & Styles of Beyond)

I had a friend named Viktor, 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 Vik was seeing red, pissed off and instead

Had drink every night until he passed out and then had to do it all again

The whole time spelling on the outside to cover the pain

But on the inside all he was trying to do was get away

Trying to get away

Let the pain of yesterday

Go slipping through the cracks

Yo, funny how things change color than fade to another shade

When you had it made it was all good but now look just another day

It was so fresh, and it was so clean, never saw it 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 until your head bursts

And it hurts so bad she left, you think to yourself

I shoulda 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, have a little shack, 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 moms 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 ********** he takes makes him wasted

So sick if hes gonna faint, the good Lord would come take him

I'm shaking now wake up, you son of a *****

He's trying 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 trying 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
