lyrics

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

The Siege Perilous image

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
