Tidal Wave 04:58
Tidal Wave I got me a mirror but it told me lies So I boarded the windows and closed my eyes All the while I just saw you There was nothing I could do I lost my reflection in the dead moonlight Oh, well he was never even on my side I don't mind to say goodbye It's alright to say goodbye I followed your shadow she told no lies She told me your secrets and where you hide It's alright I'm not out to make you cry Darling, I just want to waste your time I bend just like the riverbed I don't know who I'll be tomorrow You break like a tidal wave Hold my breath and aim for the bottom Me, I've died a hundred times and I'll die ten thousand more If you'd like to kiss death tonight I'll be waiting at your door I bend just like the riverbed I don't know who I'll be tomorrow You break like a tidal wave Hold my breath and aim for the bottom

Devil's Boots She let off the weight on my shoulders saying "don't, don't think too hard 'bout the ocean that's filling your boat Battered and bruised Licking all of my wounds Stumbling home Wearing the devil's boots Didn't take much time 'fore I was on my way Down that broken path, hell, it never seemed to change No, I ain't been here before but it's familiar like the truth Standing at your door wearing the devil's boots Won't you come down Mangle my brain Can't recall how everything changed I've been looking deep inside my little mind but honey I can't find the words They just run from my forked tongue at the blast of guns and scatter with the birds Oh, my my my, my my darling won't you Let me walk you home Wearing my new boots Oh, my my my, my my darling won't you Let me walk you home Wearing my new boots Wearing my new boots Wearing my new boots Wearing my new...

All the same 04:12
All the Same I've been down this road before and I've seen the way it's gonna go down I mean It's all the same to me If it's all the same to you Do what you please just watch your step and if it shakes your knees then it's probably deadly and you should probably just leave Who are you? I wasted my belief on faith and got no remedy for my pain but it's all a dream to me Is that how it seems to you? Who are you? Do you, do you know? Does it make me weak? You've made your mark and all your scars Carved them deep into my heart for the world to see while I share it carelessly Who are you?

Backroads 04:24
Backroads Somebody open my eyes I must be dreaming I can't believe that I'm all alone out here chasing a hole in the sky haunted by demons begging for freedom with a head full of doubt and fear Hit like a cannonball so I broke with the morning sun didn't know what to do but run to break my fall Oh, oh bottle of sorrow take me home back where I know the roads I got all mixed up looking for a ghost but she was never home We've got the wisdom of years can you help me reason in the Garden of Eden we all fight for air pumping the pain the the gears of greed crushing our weak bones to dust and despair Nothing but open roads can't seem to make a move I can't even lift my shoes forget my soul Oh, oh bottle of sorrow take me home back where I know the roads I got all mixed up looking for a ghost but she was never home Now you're all I've got so I hold you close won't ever let you go Oh, oh bottle I think I'm losing hope Won't you just take me home?

Misty Nebraska I'm not sure of many things in this world but I I can tell the truth from a lie I know that both can make you cry I've seen it happen once or twice It's not war at least it's not supposed to be but sometimes I feel the universe against me even though I got everything I need That's just the American that's running through my blood stream Oh darling, where did we go wrong One day you're here the next you're gone and like the mist of the morning sun we're slowly burning off What's this for? This life we lead and where we go? Them tired trees don't seem to know but every day they still proceed to grow and the rivers chatter down the mountains as they flow Is there more beyond the depths that we can see? Inside of you and outside of me In all the spaces in between collecting dust and shattered dreams Oh darling, where did we go wrong One day you're here the next you're gone and like the mist of the morning sun we're slowly burning off

Oildrips 04:44
Oildrips Tied my shoes, kissed my wife and waved the sun goodbye Next time I see his light will be under a desert sky When all else seems to fail you know in government we trust shackles 'round our ankles as our bones begin to rust Asleep beneath the palm trees laid out in freedom's rest stretching as far as I can reach trying so hard to forget about the landmines sitting next to me and the angel of death He's been circling like a vulture hanging just above my head My heart still kicks My lungs they swell The oil drips as the bodies start to smell Death came graceful and stepped into the light He said take my hand son but I just waved goodbye I've got to Shoot through the sun again We're halfway home now I turned 21 on Tuesday and I took 15 shots of sand Dried out my mouth 'til I couldn't speak but it wasn't hard to stand The devil he just laughed sent his best regards and love calling me back home but lord he knows I was meant for up above Or maybe not It's hard to tell My eyes can't see if there's a bottom to the well Death be patient and take a step aside You must be mistaken it's just not my time I've got to Shoot through the sun again We're halfway home now Long live the free bathe in black gold

Ghosts 04:14
Ghosts Open your eyes and let me in I wanna see what's inside of there Wanna know what's inside Between the bones beneath your skin I wanna go where you've ever been Wanna go where you've been Tell me how it is you know that this is real 'Cause I know only that I don't unless I can feel it in my arms or see it in the light but when everybody's gone who'll be there to say goodbye Do you believe in ghosts? Don't you wanna know? Where'd everybody go? I've seen your body every inch but I could never read your mind so I'm begging you please I wanna know the words that make you itch see the color drip in your spine and drift off to sleep to the pictures racing by the ones that keep you up and breathing tight honey, I know what it's like to feel the empty in your bones under a neverending sky chasing ripples from a stone through the oceans of the night Do you believe in ghosts? Seems everybody knows where you're gonna go if you believe in ghosts How come I've never seen the light My eyes are open all the time When all the world is coming unglued and everybody goes away just let it go away Oh, but hell I heard that, too nothing every goes away it changes shape Do you believe in ghosts? Don't you wanna know? Where'd everybody go? Do you believe in ghosts? Honey, can't you see that I just wanna be there all the time

The Wheel 04:45
The Wheel Some days I wish I could shed off my skin Exposed and bleeding, I would let it all in Every bruise, every cut, feel the sting and know that it, too, will end If we run out of room for the stars in the sky who will determine which one takes a dive? Scattered in pieces and lost in the night no effort to defend Another shimmering spoke in the wheel Which one's a lullaby and which one is real? I'm never quite sure how it is I should feel I just take it on the chin So give me your love, make it real make it true If it's anything else my dear, what's the use? The mind can get twisted when the heartstrings are loose Upon them won't you swing? Some days I wish I could shed off my skin and do it all over Exposed and bleeding, I would let it all in and take every breath slower Every love, every heartache and sting and know that it, too, will end just like everything

about

After releasing 3 self-produced EPs, Nico Rivers has put together his first full-length album backed by the Black Grass. Recorded in a log house, Tiny Death touches on themes of existence, transformation and the cyclical nature of the universe.
One of the only known constants in the universe is transformation. All that exists has been and will someday be something else. Tiny Death is meditation on this notion.
