lyrics

I let you get away with so much worse than this
I think it’s time you realized that you don’t understand my limits
I feel proud to say the old me’s dead and gone
So take, take, take, take, take, take what you want
Oh now, karma
Won’t you stay a little while?
I've broken into homes before and never taken anything worthwhile
But that one night, that dark and gloomy day
You said take, take, take, take, take, take, so I just went on my way

Chorus
Oh, Blackbird
We’re on the high rise
We’re doing this in real time, hoping for a gold mine
Blackbird, it’s still a stale light
We’re on the road to redemption, never second-guessing a thing
But tonight, we've got a lot to explain

Verse 2
I'm done waiting for your plans to haunt my dreams
It’s past the time to realize,
Oh they mean so much to me
It’s tragic, you’ll regret this every day
While you take take take take take take
I’ll just be on my way

And honey that smile’s contagious
Don’t you know the spotlight’s gone?
It’s hard enough with this radio bluff, to keep from moving on
Oh blackbird, Oh blackbird, Oh blackbird

Famous, dead, and gorgeous
She know how to make a scene
They cancelled all her TV shows, wouldn't print the magazines
And heaven knows how long it takes to get from A to B
From A to B, from A to B on a magazine
From A to be, from A to B on a magazine

Oh blackbird, we’re on the high rise
We’re doing this in real time, hoping for a gold mine
Blackbird, a sonic landslide
Rising high with suspension, pure as your intentions would be
But tonight
We've got a lot to explain

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."
