Brightest Days

We've all but lost our brightest days, our past we trust so we stay
In deepest dark we breath and move, it's how we know to be safe
Always time, it spins - we spin
Silence says it all
Always present doubts are drifting through our thick stale space
Retreat into a golden place, it's almost worth the pain
We've all but lost our brightest days, our past we trust so we stay

Mountain

On the Mountain where they burned the mattress where we slept
Smoke signals of what we could have had are all that's left
In the valley where they took the babies as they wept
Mothers round the world, all they could do is hold their breath
Passing time, it has not taught us, all it does is blind us
Eyes wide open, now's the time to leave this all behind us
Running scared and dying there is starting to affect
those who pulled the trigger not to serve and to protect
Eyes wide shut and mouth stuck open, you're a certain threat
Listen loud and love the neighbor that you have not met
If we know we all are part of systems that confine us
Break them down and teach our children, time will not define us
Time will, time will, time will, time will not
On the Mountain where they burned the mattress where we slept
Smoke signals of what we could have had are all that's left
On the wind the answer blows, in fits and starts, a storm
Ever worse the damage is if we don't learn to stop.

Mayday

Here, all we know starts to blend into one
Fear, why stay through the arrow's flight?
All we know, all we know blends into one
All we know will blend
Stare out into vast white, often unknown life
Wear on past shore to the small boat in the sea
Past the shore to the small boat in the sea
To the small, small boat

Blood

Older I get the more I realize the world is not mine
Here for a time
you stuff your face with all the cake you can find
and you think you know me
but you only know your insecurity
let the fur loose
until everyone you know is beyond use
I'm in a world of pain, I can't get you out of my blood
Can't pull into church at midnight
without your mirrors filled with red and blue lights
Your face is a muse
But you tell me all you'll ever do is lose
Depression eyes
Under the veil of your small town eyes

Fall Apart

What is it you try to tell me, oh, in the dark?
It's a never ending story that you can't start
All the time I try to listen, oh, to your heart
When we fall a part you'll show me, oh, what we are
When we fall apart
When we fall apart...

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums.
