Trying to Escape the Inevitable Songtext
von Pencey Prep

I have this reoccurring dream
Where you make it hard for me to breathe.
I gave you everything I could,
I gave up everything I owned.

And when you smile, it′s not for me.
You offer little sympathy.
You grasp so far exceeds your reach.
I wake up and this is not a dream.

And I almost can't believe
That you′re the same
Person who can
Straight faced with a smile...
Tell me that you love me.

Crawl (And I know I should run, I know I should run)
But I don't get too far. (And I know I should run, I know I should...)
I know I should run, (And I know I should run, I know I should run)
But I just keep running back. (And I know I should run, I know I should...)


I have this reoccurring dream,
Where you admit that you're not happy.
I know that you will never leave.
You′re here just to torment me.

And I almost can′t believe (And I know I should run, I know I should run)
That you're the same (And I know I should run, I know I should...)
Person who can (And I know I should run, I know I should run)
Straight faced with a smile... (And I know I should run, I know I should...)
Tell me that you love me.

I had a new dream and everything was perfect.
The sky is pink, yellow, green, blue, and orange.
And all the past has been forgotten.
(I don′t know how you don't choke on every lie you′ve ever told me.)
And we fell in love and we fell in love and we fell in love.
And I fell into your trap!

And I know I should run, And I know I should run. (You kept me sick!)
And I know I should run, And I know I should... (You kept me sick!)
And I know I should run, And I know I should run. (You took it all!)
And I know I should run, And I know I should...
(Run!) And I know I should run, And I know I should run (Run!).
And I know I should r-r-run!
(Run!) And I know I should run, And I know I should run (Run!).
And I know I should r-r-run!


You kept me sick.
You took it all.
You kept me complacent,
But not for long.

Run! (x9)
