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
So many things that I wanted to know How could I tell that you wanted to go? You built it up just to knock it all down And you got to me, yeah you got to me
You can take, take, take every option And fake, fake, fake your emotion Cause you can make mistakes with a smile on your face So you got to me, yean you got to me
Time and time again you′ll say goodbye, Oh, This river′s dry
So what do you say? Pull the trigger, walk away Pull the trigger ricochet So what do you say? Pull the trigger, walk away Pull the trigger ricochet
You walk away, leaving wreckage behind I′m out of sight, but you′re out of your mind I′d like to say that I made a mistake But don′t hold your breath, but don′t hold your breath
Cos you can take, take, take my devotion And break, break, break every notion This time I′d like to say that I′ll get over the hate, But don′t hold your breath, and just hold your breath
Time and time again you′ll say goodbye, Oh, this river′s dry
So what do you say? Pull the trigger walk away Pull the trigger ricochet
I could say that, I could say that, I could say that I made a mistake, But don′t hold your breath. I could say that, I could say that, I could say that I made a mistake, I could say that, I could say that, I could say that I made a mistake, But don′t hold your breath, But don′t hold your breath, Oh, Just hold your breath...
So what do you say? Pull the trgger walk away, Pull the trigger ricochet! So what do you say? Pull the trgger walk away, Pull the trigger ricochet
I could say that, I could say that, I could say that I made a mistake, I could say that, I could say that, I could say that I made a mistake, But don′t hold your breath...
