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 In recrimination Words in the distance, like birds inside my head, and The water runs red Stone on the windscreen, you shatter the world ahead Voices ricochet Relinquish me from the damage It's only mortality. It's the echoes of carnage Now the view is all tarnished The sky's a varnish, furnished with thoughts of flight And the pain still visible in light and sound and sight Dismiss the sky Grip is precarious There's various ways the path of truth can bury us Too many variables, too much chit Too much of this and that Too much zig I'm all right, Jack, pull up the plank, I'm aboard Fall on your sword Feels like a sedative, nerves are the last to decay Don't worry, it'll fade away Voices ricochet In recrimination 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 |
