lyrics
Don't bother leaving me out
There's no other way I'd have it
It's a simple rule of thumb you've turned into a subtle habit
Well, you sound the same, but your words, they've changed
Your mind's made up and locked in
It's a picture perfect scene you've broken through and long forgotten
If its a story for another time
Don't bother telling it at all
Oh, you've gone and set my world on fire
On your mark, get set, and don't let go
Time is running out, it's quiet, and the curtain's falling slowly
How come no one told me, how come no one knows, no
How come no one knows how the story goes
On your mark, get set, and don't let go
Time is running out, it's quiet, and the curtain's falling slowly
How come no one told me, how come no one knows
No, how come no one knows what's behind closed doors
Sympathy won't get you far
It's warped your destination
It's an honest way to live when fairytales are your foundation
Well, you're out of luck and you don't mind much
No, it's all too much to take in
You've grown so tired of hearing why that you've scraped one last confession
On your mark, get set, and don't let go
Time is running out, it's quiet, and the curtain's falling slowly
How come no one told me, how come no one knows, no
How come no one knows how the story goes
On your mark, get set, and don't let go
Time is running out, it's quiet, and the curtain's falling slowly
How come no one told me, how come no one knows
No, how come no one knows what's behind closed doors

Formed in 2008, the Siege Perilous is a melodic Wisconsin alternative rock outfit that delivers an engaging live show that
draws from three albums worth of original arena-style anthems in the vein of the Goo Goo Dolls, Jimmy Eat World, and Jack's Mannequin.
"A sound similar to some of the classic alternative albums of the 90's, with a updated influence of today's indie superstars."...more
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
