about
In August 2011, we in The Brave Day faced several obstacles: shows were scarce, we had just undergone a member change, and we had yet to release a collection of our work. Given those obstacles, we did something totally out-of-character: we stopped performing live and vowed to focus on songwriting. At the end of the writing and recording process, we released Fast, our six-song, debut EP on February 14th, 2012.
Our six-month writing extravaganza yielded some of our proudest, most deeply personal efforts. We hope you enjoy Fast as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Enlightened
Pour the mortar start a fire
Lay the brick for a great divider
Fighting for your fairy tale ending
Who cares if it makes sense?
Change the words to the song, say it’s all wrong
Keeps the roof up above and the lights on
Whatever difference does it make to you?
I wanna go down
Turn it off, turn off the TV
I try, but the ghost won’t give you up
A new sensation’s taken over the nation
You’ve gotta have your way
Make your mark, with a denial
Just to show us you’ve got the gall
Groupthink your way into a paper bag
Who cares if this makes sense
Yeah, you’re asleep
Yeah, you’re asleep
With eyes wide open
I wanna go down
Turn it off, turn off the TV
I try, but the ghost won’t give you up
A new sensation’s taken over the nation
You’ve gotta have your way - Track Name: Otherside

Otherside
Brushstrokes by candlelight
Plotting this finite life of mine
Destinations, my creations
All on borrowed time
I don’t want to feel this way forever
Anchor down, and cold skin shivers
Blocked out by the moon
But I’ll get a better view
‘Cause I know it will be better
On the otherside
Forward, into the light
Only to see the end in sight
Constellations, fallen nations
Dust and dirt and grime
I don’t want to feel this way forever
Bent and broken, keep it together
Blocked out by the moon
But I’ll get a better view
‘Cause I know it will be better
On the otherside
I’ll make it better now
Yeah, look down from the side of my molehill
When my kingdom crashes down
I will build it better than before
‘Cause I know it will be better on the otherside (on the otherside) - Track Name: No Thanks To You

No Thanks to You
Before I knew what hit me
I was neck-deep in a dive bar (drowning out)
But through smoke screens and statues on weak knees
Walk through high seas and call my name please
Open doors with your open eyes
Stuck, I’m on the outside
Ain’t it pretty, social suicide
I don’t have much to say, but no thanks to you
I’m on the outside, I don’t have much to say
Yes, it’s true
I’d rather be lucky than good
But that don’t mean I would
But through smoke screens and statues on weak knees
Wisdom wait for me, will you wait for me?
I’ll take it slow
As you walk around, I walk around
No heart’s a safe bet, ‘til I try
To open doors with my open eyes
Stuck I’m on the outside
Ain’t it pretty, social suicide
I don’t have much to say, but no thanks to you
I’m on the outside, I don’t have much to say
At night I’ll slither back across the floor
Just like you wanted, and I’ll crave it so much more
Stuck I’m on the outside
Ain’t it pretty, social suicide
I don’t have much to say, but no thanks to you
I’m on the outside, I don’t have much to say - Track Name: And Scene

And Scene
You’re always content with pretending ‘til it all falls through like that
But I contend the A-list, fatalist, perpetual pessimist has a puncher’s chance tonight
Does it feel fitting?
Oh, you gotta look out for the quiet ones
But you took this city
God forbid I go turn these words to life
Against you
Given I drop it all and take a chance for once
On you
Given I throw it down and play
You never meant to live the ending, but it sure turned out like that
But I confess at all times you’re an arm’s length away
An arm’s length from where I stand
There’s something about you, so I’ll hold you back
I’ll hold you back
There’s no one better, king of the jesters
And no one sells it quite like you
Can’t do it better, speaking in gestures
And no one sells it quite like you can
You can’t find a better way (to lie about it)
You can, you can’t find a better way (to lie…)
Too busy biting off more than I can chew
So I’ll hold you back
I’ll hold you back
And I’ll lie about it
There’s no one better, king of the jesters
And no one sells it quite like you
Can’t do it better, speaking in gestures
And no one sells it quite like you can
You can’t find a better way (to lie about it)
You can, you can’t find a better way (to lie…) - Track Name: Make It Right

Make It Right
Dressed to the nines, it’s been a long night, make it right
Now it’s dust from the diamonds in the sky and in your eyes
So let’s make the risk worth the while, honestly
(Within a moment)
I come alive
Walk into the fire
And fall off the earth
Press your lips to an atom bomb, pray for another run, love in an open lung
Shoot from the hip, say we’ll move along
Break like a vagabond, out through the open door
Can we live life like we’re in black and white?
By the mid-night, wake up, wake up
We’ve gotta shake up this snowglobe fantasy
(Within a moment)
I come alive
Walk into the fire
And fall off the earth - Track Name: The Ground
-
The Ground
Losing touch with the night while
Streetlights streak right by
And all the world whirls around me
All the while I’m standing still
Wait to crash and burn suddenly
Keep your grip for a little thrill
Keep your grip, your grip
Brace yourself for what could be your
Last one, last run, last dream
And all the world whirls around me
All the while I’m standing still
Wait to crash and burn suddenly
Keep your grip for a little thrill
Just hold on a little longer, and you’ll see
A little longer, and we’ll be
