Backstory:
Thin Knife emerged from the misty alleyways of Brooklyn, New York in the late 2000s. The band was formed by frontman, Jace Thompson, who was a small-time accountant by day and a passionate songwriter by night. Thompson’s unique blend of haunting vocals and poetic lyrics, blended with the dynamic backing of drummer, Reese Harrison, bassist, Ivy James, and lead guitarist, Leo DeMarco, quickly garnered the attention of the local music scene. Their rise to prominence was fueled by a series of high-energy performances in underground clubs, where their aggressive sentiments resonated with listeners who were hungry for something different.
In 2015, Thin Knife firmly established themselves in the music industry with their debut album, ‘Slice of Life’. Their distinctive sound, coupled with their heartfelt and thought-provoking lyrics, has continued to captivate audiences and critics alike, earning them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.

Title:
“Edge of Oblivion”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em]Walking down the [G]shadows of a [D]road I’ve known,
[Em]Carrying the [G]weight of a [D]heart turned stone.
[Em]Echoes of the [G]past whisper [D]in my ear,
But [Em]I keep on [G]walking, I won’t [D]let fear steer.
(Chorus)
I’m on the [C]edge of oblivion,
With a [G]thin knife in my hand.
Will it [D]be my salvation,
Or the [Em]end of this barren land?
(Verse 2)
[Em]Every step I [G]take, every [D]choice I make,
[Em]Feels like I’m [G]walking a [D]tightrope for heaven’s sake.
[Em]Silhouettes of [G]dreams, fading [D]in the light,
But [Em]I won’t give [G]up, I won’t [D]give up the fight.
(Chorus)
I’m on the [C]edge of oblivion,
With a [G]thin knife in my hand.
Will it [D]be my salvation,
Or the [Em]end of this barren land?
(Outro)
[Em]With every [G]breath, I will [D]stand,
Against the [C]edge of oblivion,
With a [G]thin knife in my [D]hand.
