Red To Black
I had a friend named Victor
我有一个朋友叫做维克多
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
但这并没什么,我知道他爸爸是个酒鬼
And he gambled away the rent
赌输了所有的房租钱
Pretty soon vic was seein red
不一会维克多就见红了
Pissed off but instead
他生气极了,但是
He drank every night til he passed out
他每天晚上喝到失去意识
Then he d do it all again
第二天又重蹈覆辙
The whole time smiling on the outside to cover the pain
自始至终,在外表上总是用微笑来掩盖痛苦
But on the inside all he was tryin to do was get away
但在内心,他想做的只是逃离这一切
Dying to get away
死都想逃离
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks

Funny how things change color
事情正在起变化是多么有趣
Then fade to another shade
然后慢慢黯淡变黑
When you had it made it was all good

But now look just another day
但现在看看,已经是另一番景象
It was so fresh it was so clean
它曾如此新鲜,它曾如此纯洁
Now its all gone
现在都没有了

Which way to turn
该走哪条路
Can't get a grip
什么都抓不到
All alone in a big white house
在空荡荡的房间里孤身一人
Everyday gets worse and you just curse
每一天都变得更糟,而你只能骂两句
'til your head bursts and it hurts so bad
直到你头疼欲裂,如此痛苦
She left like yourself should have thought of that one first
她就这么离开了,就好像你早就有心理准备一样
No family no kids can t accept what you did
没有家庭,没有小孩,无法接受你的作为
Now you wanna runaway but you can't cuz the past comes back again
现在你想逃之夭夭,可你做不到,因为过往又重现了
Slippin through the cracks
从缝隙中溜走
Sip a little jack
喝一口小酒
Go to bed half dead
瘫在床上半死不活
What about rent
房租怎么办
Why does every cent gotta be a bet
为什么每一分钱都变成赌资
Whens it gonna end

Oh my god we dont got a penny left
我的天,我们一分钱都不剩了
My mom s gotta find a way to get a job
我的妈要去找一份工作了
Outta debt outta dodge outta breath outta this big problem
换不清债,也躲不掉,无法呼吸,都是问题
My pops wanna get away from the pain
我的爸想逃离这种痛苦
In a better place in his brain
用他还能思考的那部分脑子
But the medication he takes makes him wasted
但是他吃的药让他憔悴不堪
So sick if hes gonna think the good lord would come take him
真病态,他想万能的主能不能过来把他带走
Im shakin him wake up you son of a bitch
我拼命摇着他,“醒醒吧,你这婊子养的!”
He s dying to get away
他死都想逃离
Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks
让昨日的痛苦从缝隙中流出
Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade
将自己隐藏,看着回忆慢慢褪去
Away From red to black

Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks
让昨日的痛苦从缝隙中流出
Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade
