Wooooh Wooooh Woooh Wooooooooh Woooah

I had a friend named Victor and
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 Victor was seeing red, pissed off,
but instead he'd drink every night until he passed out and then he'd do it all again
The whole time he was smiling on the outside to cover the pain,
But on the inside all he was just trying to get away

He's dying to get away, let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks

Yo, funny how things change color then fade to another shade when you
Had 'em made that was all good but now look, just another day.
It was so fresh, it was so clean never saw it go 1-2-3, lights out which way to turn
Can't get a grip, all alone in the big white house
Everything gets worse and you just curse till your head bursts
And it hurts so bad and she left, make yourself should've thought of that one first
No family, no kids, can't accept what you did.
Now you wanna wanna wait, but you can't because the past comes back again

Slipping through the cracks sip a little Jack. Could've been 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 mom's gotta find a way to get a job, out of debt, out of Dodge, out of breath, out of this big problem
My pop's wanna get away from the pain and the better place in his brain but the medication he takes makes him wasted so sick if he's gonna think the good Lord would come take him, I'm shaking 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, slipping through the cracks, slipping through the cracks.
