Ricochet

Overexposing the photographs We see what we pretend we can see Out on the edge of the city scene We feel what we pretend we can feel The days are getting longer and drier and hotter Evaporating the last of the water Basking in majestic ridicule Breaking down the molecules Ricochet and decay Staring back at me with broken eyes Like empty stalls at abandoned shopping malls Ricochet and decay We'll catch our breath before we run And fall with all our might into the surveillin' savage sun Closing in from all sides I can't hide Everything tastes like the bitter end Anticipating a dull parade Celebrating a silent chase I don't believe that we'll disappear If we can't consistently prove we're here But we don't belong in this jurisdiction They're selling t-shirts at this crucifixion And we don't have the corresponding currency It's an odyssey of absurdity Ricochet and decay Staring back at me with broken eyes Like empty stalls at abandoned shopping malls Ricochet and decay We'll catch our breath before we run With all our might into the surveillin' savage sun Everything tastes like the bitter end Everything tastes like the bitter end And I'm losing face from all the other sides I can't hide I can't hide Everyday, I'm at a loss And I'm suffering fools Like a suffering fool Everything that I touch Feels like the bitter end and it's radiating Effortlessly graceful and it's closing in From all the other sides I can't hide I can't hide
