Ricochet Lyrics - Blue Foundation

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
