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

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."
