Ricochet Lyrics by Preoccupations

Arrangements

2022

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 surveilling setting sun
Closing in from all sides
I can't hide
Everything tastes like the bitter end

[Verse 2]
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
We don't have the corresponding currency
It's an odyssey of absurdity

[Chorus]
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 surveilling setting sun
Everything tastes like the bitter end
Everything tastes like the bitter end

[Bridge]
And I'm losing face
From all the other sides
And I can't hide
And I can't hide
Every day
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

[Instrumental Outro]
