lyrics

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

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
