Escape Will Always Fail

I hear the next war coming Awake all night-time, smell the blood The omens always tell me I try to listen, can’t decide … I rule out paranoia Too simple, there must be a way To sympathise with danger And to know it’s here to stay But you can’t go far knowing It will make you strong and pale It’ll beat you up and give you nothing And let you live only if you dare Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow It will hang on like a tail Even drama queens and heroes know it Escape will always fail Escape will always fail Escape will always fail …. The next war tries to like us But it’s impossible I guess To sympathise with victims Of our own arrogance and strength I know the next war’s coming And in my daydreams it strikes hard And all the voices say You know now, we’re your shelter You’ve come back You’ve come back You’ve come back … But you can’t go far knowing It will make you strong and pale It’ll beat you up and give you nothing And let you live only if you dare Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow It will hang on like a tail Even drama queens and heroes know it Escape will always fail Escape will always fail Escape will always fail ….
