Biography:
The indie folk-rock six-piece formed in the summer of 2007, creating what is known today as William the Conqueror. Bonded by a mutual love of music, pianist Scott Christian, singer Ryan Comerford and guitarist Colin Brisbois conceived the band in a musical orgy in Ryan’s basement. In the following fateful conversation on the front porch, the newfound band made a mandate to focus on making good music, unrestricted to genre.
Having met each other at the University of Toronto faculty of music

Em G/F# G Cmaj B7
Am Em B7 B7sus
Em G/F# G Cmaj B7
Am Em B7 B7sus
[Verse]
Em G/F#
Keep it up
G Cmaj
I might just doubt myself enough to stop
B7 A7
To try to swim the rivers to the top
Em B7
I'm still in the ocean caught in rips
B7sus B7
And nothing sticks
[Verse]
Em G/F#
On the fence
G Cmaj
Balanced like the words and how they're read
B7 A7
To seek the rope but only need the thread
Em B7 B7sus B7
The sky will all come falling like you said
[Break]
Em G/F# G Cmaj B7
Am Em B7 B7sus B7
[Verse]
Em G/F#
Silly me
G Cmaj
To think I could excite sufficiently
B7 A7
The keepers seem to have lost the only key
Em B7 B7sus
And the gate's been frozen twenty years or so
B7 Em
But if they don't say it, how we supposed to know?
G Cmaj
It's just a guessing game, a fix without a fix
B7 A7
And a hole that only depends with each miss
Em B7 B7sus
And a version of yourself that you can't see
B7 Em
And if you could, you'd probably curse it bitterly

[Verse]
G/F# G Cmaj
But these are not the words you want to hear
B7 A7
This ain't how they sing and find your ear
Em B7 B7sus
This ain't how I look or what I did
B7 Em
The signs were always there since I was a kid
G Cmaj
And I'm better off in silence so it seems
B7 A7
I can save myself and me for in my dreams
Em B7 B7sus
And be judged by the meaning of my means
B7 Em G/F#
And keep myself afloat in other scenes
G Cmaj B7 B7sus B7
Like the ones I see in my dreams
A7 Em B7 B7sus B7 Em
They're my dreams
