Ricochet Lyrics

Ricochet lyrics

Yesterday my troubles seemed so far away



And now there's nothing left to do but watch the choices slip away



And all the voices ricochet – our conversation disappears



In recrimination – voices ricochet – they're just



Words in the distance, like birds inside my head, and



The water runs red – you're a



Stone on the windscreen, you shatter the world ahead







Voices ricochet – you can picture a big ‘thirteen', try to extinguish me



Relinquish me from the damage



It's only mortality…



It's the echoes of carnage



Now the view is all tarnished – the rest is just wreckage



The sky's a varnish, furnished with thoughts of flight



And the pain still visible in light and sound and sight







Dismiss the sky – voices ricochet







Grip is precarious



There's various ways the path of truth can bury us



Too many variables, too much chit-chat



Too much of this and that



Too much zig-zag, yin yang, yak yak







I'm all right, Jack, pull up the plank, I'm aboard



Fall on your sword – a humming repetitive



Feels like a sedative, nerves are the last to decay



Don't worry, it'll fade away







Voices ricochet – our conversation disappears



In recrimination – voices ricochet – they're just



Words in the distance, like birds inside my head







And all the manacles that bind, the pinnacles you climb



To the background of a cynical ‘who' and ‘what' and ‘why'



And ‘why not?' ‘Scuse me while I dismiss the sky







Voices ricochet – dismiss the sky
