Snake Oil
03:13
|
|||
I shiver and I bellow, tangle and rust
I break my own will to peer inside your dust
see me come running with memory in hand
I fear no man, no god damn
Shake
I'm crossing your body like a sacred map
Pouring sweat on the engines of ancient rituals
nighttimes and the dead rhymes are breaking you down
lightning rods and the willows keep you breathing in

Pennies
03:09
|
|||
Brought around by the shadows
carrying dead dreams by the neck
significant dawn to hold and hold
on to pennies in your eyes
We're tiny, forgotten satellites
We're all just breaking down

Buried Golden
05:14
|
|||
Dust settles on your bones
tortured hands shape the light
days are sutured and found
blistered gods buried golden
believe that all is forgotten
in the sagging weight of forever
Break down with me
Won't you break down with me
Whistle shape, spit lies
chewing on growing mouths
nettle blanket, new rust
build what is forgotten
you look like war
with buried dreams and foxhole eyes
advancing hands like enemies
make peace with all violence
Break down with me
Won't you break down with me

Slow Burn
03:56
|
|||
Our unholy lives
are filled with these strange addictions
Failed unruly blood
is writing restless fictions
Tangle with future enemies
color cold smiles
Hiding blank mirrors
behind forgotten dreams
I'm casting glances
at angry black seas
It's a slow burn
and this is how I end

Puerto Rican Ghosts
05:05
|
|||
There's bare feet at the back door
Let me carry you past the shakes
Baby got black reason now
Like a buried revolver
Take it to the witch doctor
Hide it under all your tears
Lay still, breathe deep, recognize animal
Remember the animals
Remember all your dreams
Remember the sediment
They're laughing at you now

Always Lines
03:02
|
|||
Lay my head on a railroad bed
and I will wake up alive and dead
|

Shadow Penny
03:04
|
|||
Brought around by the shadows
Carrying dead dreams by the neck
Significant dawn to hold and hold
On to pennies in your eyes
We're tiny forgotten satellites
We're all just breaking down

Red Clay River is an American experimental-folk band that combines Southern gothic narratives with expansive and creative
instrumentation.
The band's core members–Dan Bivins and Aaron Parker–have been evolving their sound for over 10 years now with RCR and continue to push their sonic boundaries and not make the same record twice.
