We Cannot Escape Lyrics

This summer, Boston's skyline

Looms above me like an ominous cloud

Last night I called and said it out loud

Can I come and talk?

'Cause we need to talk.

And will it be worse if you cry or if you sit

And take it without a sound?

I fear the words won't come out of my mouth.

I can't keep calling it off:

I'm calling it off.

I stare into the red light of the sunset at the end of the day

I can't blank this out, I fall under reality's weight

I'm giving you up now.

It's no longer fake, it's no longer fake.

No anesthesia, I feel you rip my chest open, I do the same

I can't turn this into fantasy or wish it away

The truth is upon us

We cannot escape, we cannot escape.

This summer will be cold and cruel as ice

A bloody June like never before

And I stand vigil, still waiting for

My doorbell to ring.

I know it will ring.

A vampire paced my garden for too long

And once again he's here at the door

And I can't send him away anymore

This time I'm letting him in

I'm letting him in.

There was a part of me who thought we could be everlasting

There was a part of me who always knew that this would happen

It's all a rite of passage, isn't it?

Feeling like you're walking to the gallows when they free you from imprisonment.

There was a part of me who almost left in January

There was a part of me who thought we could have gotten married

It's all a rite of passage, I am sure

Feeling like you're dying young when really you're just living immature.

And some bright morning lies ahead, but I wish that I wasn't awake

I can't keep my heart together with endurance or tape

I'm letting it go now

I'm letting it break, I'm letting it break.

And for the first time in our lives, this decision is the one that we make

Nothing either of us says will make the other one stay

The end is upon us

We cannot escape, we cannot escape.
