Red To Black lyrics

Artist  : Fort Minor 
Song : Red To Black



 Send "Red To Black" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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 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 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

Can't get a grip

All alone in a big white house

Everyday gets worse and you just curse

'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
mom’s 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 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)
