Lyrics Ricochet - 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
