Curtain 03:59
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

I took a walk up to the waterfront to watch the sky And saw the colors catch illusions under different lights I swear there's something dedicated to the shallow tides The waves move back and forth the gravity the force they can't deny Resistant reasons to exist beyond the other side I must have missed what you dismissed as being sanctified Hey We're drifting farther away There's nothing left to take The sun'll come up no it doesn't matter if we stay around here or not I think we've lost our way I took a break from being front and center of the crime The sun and moon and stars will burn out bright when they collide I swear there's something lost that we have found among the flowers The air moves back and forth, the time falls short along the seperate hours Resistant reasons to exist beyond the other side I must have missed what you dismissed as being sanctified Hey We're drifting farther away There's nothing left to take The sun'll come up no it doesn't matter if we stay around here or not I think we've lost our way I got caught in a landslide Another hole in the great divide Forgotten moment in our eyes A hotshot, melting pot, serve behind his blind spot Time of our lives Caught in a landslide Caught in a landslide Forgotten moment in our lives A mismarked caveat, disembark a loan shark Caught by surprise Hey We're drifting farther away There's nothing left to take The sun'll come up no it doesn't matter if we stay around here or not I think we've lost our way Hey We're drifting farther away There's nothing left to take The sun'll come up no it doesn't matter if we stay around here or not I think we've lost our way I think we've lost our way What are you doing today? What are you doing today?

If anyone is out there watching Every move you make Would you feel afraid They'll see your lows and your mistakes Determined not to let you talk A higher price to pay You'll hate it anyway It's never close enough To what you want to say I got dressed in the dark today It didn’t change a thing about me I didn't hold out for a hand-me-down Sweater vest or pockets full of jade and bronze And if read the headlines right this time I'm gonna make it out to New Orleans I'm gonna hope this whole night can hold its own against the tide And be the sailboat captain in our dreams I wish I was Falling asleep Instead of Calling out to stray dogs Roaming the streets They've got an Infrastructure held out By a hierarchy Eleven boxes filled with organs And stringless violins You're stretching out the skin The temporary hole we're in Travel to the overcrowded thread where I sit Germinating diamond cane Breaking out the sand like champagne Taking cover under the southern rain I wish I was Falling asleep Instead of Calling out to stray dogs Roaming the streets They've got an Infrastructure held out By a hierarchy The strays are on the run again Don't look back, and tell them not to run We haven't been home long enough to know where we went wrong Don't look back, and tell them not to run We haven't been home long enough Water above Wasted on the young And I'll be there with bells on When I feel the time has come And no man is an island Not every road leads to Rome And I'll be there with bells on When I feel the time has come To lead the strays back home The strays are on the run again

This is Tragedy 03:45
lyrics

Drawing lines across a map Here's to hoping we can find you It's a different world without you Everything felt so much lighter then And here we are, two years too late Your name's still on the radio Your face is on the telephone pole Right outside my front door Holding hands and lighting candles No one else could understand those Nights we stood outside your porch And let the city lights define ourselves And here I am, without you, asking Who I'd be without the memories Of you and me Reality would bring me to my knees Love This is love, this is love This is tragedy This is losing you right When you're next to me This is holding you down To forget you know my name Love This is love, this is love This is overcast This is letting you go When you want me back But what do I know about Love A light polluted urban skyline It's impossible to feel fine When I know you're somewhere out there Looking for a way to get here And it might be like my dreams I see you coming back to me What goes up has gravity To bring it back down to diplomacy Love This is love, this is love This is tragedy This is losing you right When you're next to me This is holding you down To forget you know my name Love This is love, this is love This is overcast This is letting you go When you want me back But what do I know about love About love? You say you love me but its not enough You need something you can't take your eyes off Take your eyes off of me This is tragedy Love This is love, this is love Its a mystery When exactly you'll Fall to its ecstacy What do I know about love About love? About Love This is love, this is love This is tragedy This is much more work Than I thought it'd be Maybe I'm not cut out for love Maybe I'm not cut out for us Take your eyes off of me This is tragedy

Every white lie I've ever told Hunted me down and burned my soul Every ticking time bomb never went off Every misconception told I'm wrong Every last debtor will pay their debts Every last moment is filled with regrets And none of this will stop me coming back From coming back again Light it up and take my breath away For another chance to relive today Falling faster in this masquerade Don’t you know This is not where you belong This is not where you belong This is not where you belong Second to none you chase the past Memories fade you built to last Outrunning the road that fell apart Painted on your failed scars Now you walk in separate worlds Change your fate as it unfurls Breaking down is not enough Stay awake I’ll sway your love Light it up and take my breath away For another chance to relive today Falling faster in this masquerade Don’t you know This is not where you belong This is not where you belong This is not where you belong Hold on to whatever makes you young Light it up and take my breath away For another chance to relive today Falling faster in this masquerade Don’t you know This is not where you belong This is not where you belong This is not where you belong This is not where you belong

The Siege Perilous Milwaukee, Wisconsin

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
