River

[Verse 1: Zach Boucher]
My parents taught me to be confident
Appreciate accomplishments
Realize the world around me always shows the positives
But now the clock ticks, i'm losing my conscious
Feels like every day that my being has been forgotten
Y'know, when we were young and kind of hectic
And failing like every mission in Call of Duty on veteran
And know that our past is gone, but deep down I'm learning my lesson
Live every day like your last, 'cause tonight just might be the second
So fuck it, I get the message
I'm counting my every blessing
So grateful to be alive but right now i'm just second guessing
Don't understand why you left me but ever since then i'm free
Felt suffocated and open but now i'm able to breath
Back when we used to be "we"
Been staying up until three
Unsobering thoughts, playing a game or two
Then repeat
I'm addicted to my past and I can't handle it
Just please, stop soaking these every moment
You know I wanted to be
But I wanna leave us
So I'm running from the past
Stay on my computer every day
When I dropped out of class
I'm stupid for doing that
I wish I could just go back
Reverse back in time
So I could keep the friendship that I had
Fuck, you know I'm writing this for you
Back in summer, we would listen to music I made for you
In your room, only us, playing smash bros, we'd lose
Every time but it'd feel like I didn't when i'm with you, 'cause...

[Chorus: Rockit Gaming]
I’m going down as the River flows
(and you know)
Some will drown that’s just the way it goes
(and you know)
Keep my head up and I stay afloat
And you know
The River flows

[Verse 2: Zach Boucher]
My parents taught me to ignore them
Even if they poured heartless comments
'til I'm sore, just give them like no remorse
They're stupider than a door hinge
Now they're mocking orphans
'cause deep inside they know that no one ever has adored them
They're saying "Zach, you can't rap just 'cause you wanna"
At least I have some pride to not write about marijuana
Or write about fucking slaughter or money, why would I bother?
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't broke, but now i'm stronger
'cause wealth isn't happiness. Not as much as passion is
Follow what you love
Try to be your own pacifist
And take action when they ask for it
Don't pass as if they don't deserve what happens next
Just prove that you're passing them
You're winning, don't take in to criticism
Yeah, they can say what they want
But that is just the beginning
I promise you that you're winning
You'll see these people be printing some label's on you
'cause really they wanted what they can't get
And it's funny because it's them hating them this whole time
Now looking back and been saying these same lies
To get myself in the popularity line
I just wanted to fit in, so than I started to rhyme
Then people started to notice me
Not knowing i'm broken
Please know that i've been hoping you would focus on these words I speak
Hopelessly, somebody just notice me
I just wanna quit this rap shit but it has chosen me
She doesn't know it yet, always been a triple threat
That is why I dropped out, just to give my mind a rest
It's overloaded with only moments of you
But after watching you go, I never knew what to do
I'm sorry lady, you knew this
I'm feeling so foolish
Let the greatest girl go just because i'm stupid
Like why the fuck am doing this to myself?
I asked for somebodies voice
And you were right there to help, but...

[Chorus: Rockit Gaming] X2
I’m going down as the River flows
(and you know)
Some will drown that’s just the way it goes
(and you know)
Keep my head up and I stay afloat
And you know
The River flows
