Ricochet (feat. MC Jabber)

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
