Written by The Siege Perilous
Lyrics by Amir Hamizadeh

lyrics

How much do you know? What's inside?
Where's the love to spread the light?
Never answer too soon
You might just find yourself starting a fire
You'd give up for a chance like this
You'd burn out after just one hit
Save yourself the trouble
I already know what the answer is

You make it look so easy
Running from you shouldn't be this hard
You make it look so easy
Promise that you'll catch me when I fall

Save a life or
Or take the blame
Someone's calling your name
In the city of broken people
In the city of broken people
Save a life or
Or take the blame
Someone's calling your name
In the city of broken people
Someone tell me what we're living for again

How far can you hear into the night?
What's the closest thing in sight?
Never bothered leaving
Now I'm stuck here waiting all my life
Fall apart after going down
Come back up after breaking ground
Save yourself from nothing
I already know why the band plays on

You make it look so easy
Running from you shouldn't be this hard
You make it look so easy
Promise that you'll catch me when I fall

Save a life or
Or take the blame
Someone's calling your name
In the city of broken people
In the city of broken people
Save a life or
Or take the blame
Someone's calling your name
In the city of broken people
Someone tell me what we're living for again

I feel like
The last time
Hit me harder than you hoped
I feel like
The last breath
That leaves your lungs before you choke
I feel like
A victim
Of your suicide's ambition

Sell to me the lightning in your eyes
We don't have that kind of time


Save a life or
Or take the blame
Someone's calling your name
In the city of broken people
In the city of broken people

Stand the test of time
And I still know that we’ll collide
And I still know that we’ll collide
I’ve tipped the scales enough
To say we’re safe, oh
They could never find us here
Anymore

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."
