Gretooth - Rivers, Books, and Last Chances Lyrics

I'm a pebble to your boulder
Still a bit too rough, turned a cold shoulder
But I will remember you when the river takes me away
How we both ended up upon this bank, sediment forming the edges and flanks, of the Rock we used to call ours on a yesterday
But fighting the current was not my fight, although concurrent to my delights, the spites We smite were never quite the same
So when the river takes me away
And if you look back at our yesterday
Don't say it was vain, it was happy all the same
Blowing smoke, and drippin' dope, and the alcohol, and feeling low
It's a quadrifecta to each his own, but when the river tastes of poison then I got to go
We're immortalized in the fact that we are stone, but this is not the legacy that I want to Llve on, so I am off to a different inlet not indignant of the presents we were given off to Build a better Rome
When the river takes me away
Found my way to an estuary
The world's so big it's extraordinary
Freedom blossomed, feeling awesome
In the ocean, then I got buried in the riptide
Relapsing now in a drain pipe
Old memories plus sustained hype
What a deadly combination
Positivity used for manipulation
Play the victim it's the joker's descendant
Code of conduct, follow rules like tenets
Be the defendant ever present in your game of tennis
Cool trick though, religion and sports are easier when you cheat
So you cheated, me cheated you, cheated us of the view
I saw it, so beautiful, and it's waiting for you too
But you know that, you don't show it, you accept that, and keep goin'
But the world has flavor text and you won't get the story if you don't read it
So get studying, head in the books, the book of faces
My favorite part of this dictionary is flipping right to the H's
Cause I see happy, hospitable, heartfelt, and homey
And all the people that are best at keeping me from being lonely
I'm sorry, at the S's: somber, sorrow, sappy, sadness
Cause I keep seeing you, I keep seeing your darkness
Your sick of this, your favorite fable's the Phoenix
Well you're the ashes so it's time to start burning
When the river takes you away
When your face is on a different page
I know it's no more my place
But I say, you'll be okay
You can't keep dragging me down
I see your problem but your problem's not mine
I'm extending my hand just one last time
You're my poison, you're my cyanide
Taking you is a lethal injection
Built a tolerance through my conviction
This ain't selfless, ain't even compassion
I'm just tied to you and I need your action
So come
On
Come On
Come On
Come On
