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
