Voices Lyrics

Blue Foundation

Yesterday my troubles seemed so far away
And now thereÂ's nothing left to do but watch the
choices slip away
And all the voices ricochet – our conversation
disappears
In recrimination – voices ricochet – theyÂ're just
Words in the distance, like birds inside my head, and
The water runs red – youÂ're a
Stone on the windscreen, you shatter the world ahead

Voices ricochet – you can picture a big Â'thirteenÂ', try
to extinguish me
Relinquish me from the damage
ItÂ's only mortalityÂ...
ItÂ's the echoes of carnage
Now the view is all tarnished – the rest is just
wreckage
The skyÂ'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
ThereÂ'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

IÂ'm all right, Jack, pull up the plank, IÂ'm aboard
Fall on your sword – a humming repetitive
Feels like a sedative, nerves are the last to decay
DonÂ't worry, itÂ'll fade away

Voices ricochet – our conversation disappears
In recrimination – voices ricochet – theyÂ'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 Â'whoÂ' and Â'whatÂ' and
Â'whyÂ'
And Â'why not?Â' Â'Scuse me while I dismiss the sky
