Treading the Water in the River

Our feet are catching in the cracks
the water is speeding by so fast
our legs trembling with pain
just as it begins to rain
the flood rolls in
we can't get out, we're stuck again
can't you smell the stench of blood?

Mama said not to play in the river
but we don't listen,
we jumped in, we got addicted,
now we're head deep in shit
We're drowning in this bottomless pit
we're getting nowhere as we try to run up the sides of it
but life's too hard, and we again hit rock bottom
treading the water in the river
