There are so many updates, But nothing’s really changed You think it’s all crumbling but Your point of view’s been rearranged Are we gonna be flesh-bots Trapped on UFO’s There is no juggernaut Telling us what to do Do you believe we should all be punished Is there a need for you to admonish Everyone you see’s not in the game Who wants to be an accident waiting to happen? All the lines are traced Patina papers drenched in tears The tragedies have all been faced The stories are told laced with fear Green lawns and white fences Are there for you to see Time is still as it lapses You just have to watch your speed

See it Now 01:57
GAVE UP TRYING TO BLOCK IT OUT I SEE IT NOW PASSING TEMPOS REPEATING MOUTHS I SEE IT NOW REMEMBER THERE'S NOTHING PURE NOT REALLY WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAME OLD INNER VOICE SO GODDAMN TIRING I AM ALL ROTTEN JOISTS AND BAD WIRING SHADOWS PLAY ON THE BRAINWAVES I TRY TO TURN THE PAGE / THE STORY STAYS THE SAME

Broken down to pieces Everything must go Chances fade to ash And melt the snow Your bread and wine Left behind For a time crunch You never know what you’ve done Turn it over Plow again Try to see there ain’t nothing There’s something Don’t shed a tear today cause That’s only fear you hang on Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms Leave the carcass of your world laying around Someone’s gonna gulp it down And leave none lost or found And the papers say the outcome is unclear No one can tell your fortune, it just isn’t there You don't wanna wait

IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO UNDERSTAND MY FATHER'S SUCH A SERIOUS MAN HE MARRIED THE FAITH – TRADED US FOR A CLAN I LEARNED TO TAKE THE BACK SEAT I HIDE AS IF MY LIFE'S A CRIME AND ALL WE LOSE IS THE PRECIOUS TIME I'M NOT GONNA LIVE A LIFE I HATE I'D RATHER TAKE THE BACK SEAT I CARRY IT ALL DAY LONG... WE GO TO SLEEP WITH OUR FINGERS CROSSED WE GET THROUGH THE NIGHT CUZ THE HOPES NOT LOST WE MAKE UP THE BED WHERE WE TURNED AND TOSSED WE WERE DREAMIN' WE KEEP DREAMIN' WE CARRY IT ALL DAY LONG... KEEP ON DREAMIN'

Fingers 02:28
ANOTHER WINTER OF SOLITAIRE IN THE HINTERLAND OF DESPAIR DID THE STREETS NAME YOU OR DID YOU NAME THE STREETS? THE ECHOES OF WINGS OF CROW YOU HAD TO EAT YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING IN THE PARK THE BEACONS HAVE ALL GONE DARK A LOST MAGI WITHOUT A STAR SECRET FEARS IN SHATTERED MASON JARS CAREFUL OF THE GAMES YOU START WITH FAUST I HEARD YOU HAVENT LEFT THE HOUSE YOU'VE BEEN SORTING OUT THE NARCS JUST TRYING TO GATHER WHERE YOU ARE YOUR YELLOW EYES THEY SEE AN END AND I HOPE YOUR FEELING GOOD AGAIN IF WE DON’T LIFT FINGERS I LOSE FRIENDS

Night 01:48
It’s been going on this long Why stop now? We’ve fallen in a pit And we ain’t ever crawling out You see it too It don’t matter Who I’m talking to it’s you And you and you and you, etc. We have these thoughts We pass them down We’re only lost again (x3) We’ll dig our way out of here If we can’t go up We’ll burrow down And when we break through It’ll be so bright we’ll have to cover Our own eyes

Experiment 01:56
YOU CAN ONLY SEE THE DESERT REACHING FAR AND WIDE ANOTHER PATCH OF BLEACHED BONES THE ONLY ROAD SIGN YOU USED TO LISTEN TO THE WATER AND NOW YOU CAN'T DIVINE IT'S ALL WASTED TEARS AND PRECIOUS SALT YOU CRIED IN THIS EXPERIMENT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT BURNING UP DUSK AND MIDNIGHT STILL YOUR MIND IT MELTS ALL THESE POINTLESS SEASONS TORTURING YOURSELF REMEMBER THIS PLACE BEFORE YOUR MATH CAME TO AN END YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE BEST LAID PLANS OF SNAKES AND MEN IN THIS EXPERIMENT THERE'S ONLY ONE DIRECTION

Gone to Bolt 02:12
One snort will tell you what’s not long for this world Before the sores and soft spots start to ooze, You’ll know There’s no preservation You can’t soak this in Smirnoff Won’t stomach another moment of OOOOOoooooo It’s not been years of famine at least our home was fed There was no hope we’d not let go But our language had lost its flow And since you view me as a ganof You won’t mind getting rid of me too Me too Taking time to relate can leave an empty plate There’s no growth we’ll ever know We’ve harvested most all our rows And the others have gone to bolt We left the whole world dying at our feet Broke every window, crushed every seed There’s no reservation Our pulses will beat on Don’t mind us getting rid of you

about

Rivers Edge formed in 2016 right before the election, you might say in preparation of... Terry, Ash, and I all live in Chattanooga, TN. while Ben is still a Huntsville, AL. resident.

Past rock endeavors include, but are not limited to:
Basement Benders, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Future Virgins, Pine Hill Haints, add/c... Ben and Harry played in Rice Harvester together.

We'll have another collection of songs out some time this summer. This will be available on cassette soon. In the meantime, if you purchase the download now, watch here for the cassette release. When we announce it's out, email us your receipt from the download purchase and we'll send you the cassette. Capiche?
