Overflow 04:13
Once we were young, our lives were the same Nothing to give, and nothing to gain So many things I wanted to say, but tonight They overflow Hold up a light to show me the way Dealing the blow and sealing my fate Answers will come and sweep us away Away from ourselves and into the fray The forge in my side could aid my rebirth Closer than you, my Heaven on Earth So many things that I wanted to say, but tonight They overflow I’m searching But it can’t be found My sunlight Hidden by the clouds Won’t someone Teach me how to fall? I’ve been here for too long Above it all Careless and proud, I flew through the day Mirrors and smoke that force you to stay Looking ahead will lead me along A road with a life that isn’t my own Four shards splintered off and flew into space The moment in time I fell from your grace Give me a sign that future still lives and this world Will overflow I’m searching But it can’t be found My sunlight Hidden by the clouds Won’t someone Teach me how to fall? I’ve been here for too long Above it all I’ve been here for too long above it all

Call to Arms 02:54
When I get up, I fall back down I’d like to say I’ve been around But honestly, I haven’t Been across the street to see you yet And even though the score is set With poker chips and placing bets Setting sights to see are far much more Than I can handle here Be mine Be mine The world will take away your name And toss it like a hand grenade Be mine, be mine Just mine You alone cannot be satisfied You told me there was no one else Who made you feel like you’re yourself When you’re with me, and we’re alone I kiss you through the telephone Sunrise starts and nothing’s left No one else except for you and I You and I, you and I Be mine Be mine Your heart will soar across the room And make me feel like I can fly with you So high Be mine, be mine

Kairos 03:25
I need somewhere wide open Before I start It’s just the wind holding me back I need somewhere wild, cold and An open sea It’s just the sun keeping track of me And I was told that after all The rise and fall of my own breath Will take its toll How can they know? Just look below Your promised wasteland A story can break down the walls With faith unseen Now this story gave me my soul I cannot help thinking of them And what will be Will I remember this day When I believe? And I was told that after all The rise and fall of my own breath Will take its toll How can they know? Just look below Your promised wasteland

Streetlight 03:24
Streetlight's the name You flicker out and leave it all the same Attempt escape Alone Well now I'm free Without this passion we would know some peace No amnesty In war Close your eyes And lay your hand on mine In this divide We fall Let the rain fall down on me Fall against this one-way street You never had the courage, and you never had the time Now the rain can blur the line Streetlight's the name In mirrored faces, words are not the same All that remains Unknown Close your eyes And lay your hand on mine In this divide We fall Let the rain fall down on me Fall against this one-way street You never had the courage, and you never had the time Now the rain can blur the line Let the rain fall down on me Let the rain fall down on me Fall against this one-way street You never had the courage, and you never had the time Now the rain can blur the line The rain can blur the line

Neutral 03:06
Well there’s a part of me Clinging onto reality Little droplets of truth and lies This is why you can’t meet my eyes Naturally Flawed and human like I ought to be The underground may soon be on the rise Its taking time, but at least we try Sinking sea Underwater, I can hardly breath Can we trade this in for open skies Swap the fishes for birds that fly Harmony Perfect balance in you and me Equal distance for sea and sky Given reasons for every why I see the light between the stars I feel the veins of passing cars I hear the gravity on Mars This is the way, the way things are I see the light between the stars I feel the veins of passing cars I hear the flames like we’re on fire This is the way, the way things are I see the light between the stars I feel the veins of passing cars I hear the silence between The notes of your guitars I see the light between the stars I feel the veins of passing cars I hear the gravity on Mars This is the way, the way things are I see the light between the stars I feel the veins of passing cars I hear the silence between The notes of your guitars

Give me something to believe in It can even be a lie Twist my hell to make it heaven Take my earth and make it sky Send the rain back to their makers Chase the devils to their doors I don't believe you can surprise me I've heard your secrets all before And I Forget everything that moves Forget who you're talking to Forget where you're trying to go And I Give it a shot this time I'll give it my all this time And, hey, maybe then I'll Learn to love my life You take for granted your last heartbeat You take for granted your first step You learn to love the life you're given Cuz its the only one you'll get Give me something to believe in Out of the corner of your eye Take this folded piece of paper Sign your name on the dotted line And I Forget everything that moves Forget who you're talking to Forget where you're trying to go And I Give it a shot this time I'll give it my all this time And, hey, maybe then I'll Learn to love my life We don't know what we will find When we cross the finish line We don't know what we will find When we cross the finish line We don’t know, no, we don’t know When we cross the finish line

Hold your heart in my hands Red soiled before we began Take vacancy inside the cracked up pawn Cave in and give away the side you're on I don't know your face But I've seen your heart before Every vein that pumps and breaks out Living threats of civil war The pain that love creates Acts as solace to the soul And what became the base Will forever be let go And I will hold on To the best thing that ever was I know the empty space is there Water flows against me Valleys of twilight That never seem to flicker out I dreamt out loud But tomorrow We are a civil war Walk on to find your way back to the start Write a treaty on my heart I don't know your face But I've seen your heart before Every vein that pumps and breaks out Living threats of civil war The pain that love creates Acts as solace to the soul And what became the base Will forever be let go And I will hold on To the best thing that ever was I know the empty space is there Water flows against me Valleys of twilight That never seem to flicker out I dreamt out loud But tomorrow We are a civil war And I will hold on I will hold on to the best thing Ah

Dustface 03:13
Standing on the road With no place to go Lost inside my head With only dreams Fell over a stone Found my eyes frozen with cold Now the world is clear And I can see And oh Just walk back slow Pretend nothing else Flies in the breeze And fly away With words of stone Every choice Has been your own And take it in This is where your life begins A simple place where you can Stand alone Think about the times That you wish that you were blind To hear the words spoken Between the lines And oh Just walk back slow Pretend nothing else Flies in the breeze And fly away With words of stone Every choice Has been your own And flow Into your own Everyone is watching you with me Just know That on your throne No one knows who you were meant to be

In this world of dust Honest men betray their trust What wicked tongues In this space we’ve built to last Some burn out and some burn faster Than the rest And the world will live to know your name And the world will live to know your name Brother, take me by the hand and make my day Brother, do the good again and make me smile And it all comes down to dust In the way that all things must But he still stands And still he stands With a burning cloak He wrapped around his hands To show the way And the world will live to know your name And the world will live to know your name Brother, take me by the hand and make my day Brother, do the good again and make me smile Oh, there’s another way to do this but its So much harder when you’re by yourself You will never walk this road alone again My brother will never walk this road alone again And the world will live to know your name And the world will live to know your name Brother, go and be the leader Be the prophet, be the teacher Don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way I promise you, in time, they’ll learn your name I promise you, in time, they’ll learn your name Just promise me you’ll make my day That everything will be okay And they will learn your name

Eurydice 02:28
Do not fear the dawning of the night For I am close behind The river calls to you inside I cannot stop the tide And if you remember your lines Turn to me from the light Just place your hand inside of mine An angel now in flight Oh my love I will follow you to Heaven’s stair You whisper now, “take care” Oh my love You must return, I’m blinded by the glare I cannot follow you there I recognize your vibrant eyes Beneath my open stare I try to call out to you now But dust replaces air The boatman smiles and takes his fee The wind begins to steer You sail away to your new life You cannot leave me here Oh my love I will follow you to Heaven’s stair You whisper now, “take care” Oh my love You must return, I’m blinded by the glare I cannot follow you there

Vacant space underneath my heels There are no words to say, and nothing to hear Think too much, but I'm free to steal a Thought or two about losing you There are no excuses to give, and none to receive If I were to run away tonight What would I take and what would I chose to leave behind If I were to run away tonight Would I ever learn to love the limits of my time Holding out for a greater good, would I still be there if I could? I guess there's some more to say, but still nothing to hear Given up on the burning bridges Warming up, but the bridge is burning The lessons taught by what we found That love isn't all you need It can't help you breathe If I were to run away tonight What would I take and what would I chose to leave behind If I were to run away tonight Is what I want exactly what I'll find? If I were to run away tonight What would I take and what would I choose to leave behind If I were to run away tonight Would I ever learn to love the limits of my time Brittle, broken down, defeated And how am I to rise? Marks and scars on hands and shoulders The stars that build the sky Disconnected, incomplete And what I leave behind Runaway from all the sounds And stars that build the sky The stars that build the sky The stars that build the sky What I'm leaving behind I'm standing In the gutter Looking At the stars To live, it’s the rarest thing We exist, and that is all A dreamer He sees the dawn Before the world Even knows its dark She's standing in the gutter Looking at the stars

about

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."
