Screaming Treeswere a grunge band formed in Ellensburg, Washington, in 1985. Their sound was a mix of 60's psychedelia and punk rock, and even though they were critically acclaimed by many, they never achieved the superstardom of, say, Nirvanaor Soundgarden. Following the tour, Screaming Trees took another hiatus. After a June 25, 2000, concert to celebrate the opening Seattle's Experience Music Project, the group unsurprisingly announced their official breakup. The founding members were brothers Gary Lee Conner (guitars) and Van Conner (bass), vocalist Mark Lanegan, and drummer Mark Pickerel.

Standing On The Edge Lyrics
Screaming Trees
Standing by myself on the sidewalk
Nothing in this world could make me talk
Im nailed to this floor where there is no air
Alone I see myself and stare
Locked inside this world you gave me
Its lonely here through the smoke I cant see clear
And I know all the ways and Ill try
And Ive seen all the places I get eyed
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always seem so hard
Wait for the world to turn around
Then I wont go up or down
Gentle winds must sometimes sit
The face that looks on in my mirror
And I know all the ways and I can try
And Ive seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself out in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah
And I know all the ways and I can try
And Ive seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Well all the nights last a thousand years
When youre in a time that feels so near
Ill just say you were the word I found
And then I wont go up or down
And I know all the ways and I can try
And Ive seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah
Just standing on the edge of the wall
I always go to far and I fall, yeah
