Trying To Escape The Inevitable Lyrics
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
Your grasp so far exceeds your reach
I wake up and this is not a dream
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)
But I don't get too far
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
I know I should run (and I know I should)
(And I know I should run)
But I just keep running back
(And I know I should run)
(And I know I should run, and 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
I almost can't believe
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
That you're the same
(And I know I should run, and I know I should)
Person who can
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
Straight faced with a smile
(And I know I should run, and I know I should)
Tell me you love me
I have a new dream that everything is 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
(Crawl) And I know I should run, and I know I should run (crawl)
And I know I should r-r-run
(Crawl) And I know I should run, and I know I should run (crawl)
And I know I should r-r-run
You kept me sick
You took it all
You kept me complacent
But not for long
Crawl, crawl, crawl
Crawl, crawl, crawl
Crawl, crawl, crawl
Where you make it hard for me to breathe
I gave you everything I could
I gave up everything I owned
You offer little sympathy
Your grasp so far exceeds your reach
I wake up and this is not a dream
That you're the same
Person who can
Straight-faced with a smile
Tell me that you love me
(And I know I should run)
But I don't get too far
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
I know I should run (and I know I should)
(And I know I should run)
But I just keep running back
(And I know I should run)
(And I know I should run, and I know I should)
Where you admit that you're not happy
I know that you will never leave
You're here just to torment me
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
That you're the same
(And I know I should run, and I know I should)
Person who can
(And I know I should run, and I know I should run)
Straight faced with a smile
(And I know I should run, and I know I should)
Tell me you love me
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 (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
And I know I should r-r-run
(Crawl) And I know I should run, and I know I should run (crawl)
And I know I should r-r-run
You took it all
You kept me complacent
But not for long
Crawl, crawl, crawl
Crawl, crawl, crawl

The lyrics to this song are so awesome.
Defenatly my fave Pencey Prep song! I only heard of them because of 'Life on the Murder Scene' (MCR) but I'm glad I did! I think I like the lyrics more than the singing, but the singing's still good. (Love the screaming too)
For every month, I obsess over one of Pencey Prep's songs. This month, it's Trying to Escape the Inevitable. I love it
