"Ricochet" lyrics

Don't ask me to stay down
Don't tell me to get out of the way
And don't pretend you know my name
I thought you knew me better
I thought this rain would let up someday
But maybe I was wrong again

And when you turn the lights down low
Now tell me what you see
So we raise hands up high in the sky
Full speed
Then we cover our eyes
Just dance
No, do not cry
Bite down
'Cause my jaw is tight
Stay close
Yeah, hold me tight
Full steam
'Cause I'm in love with the lie
Deaf, dumb, and blind
Are we okay, are we alright?

A world away
And I'm calling out your name
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet

Are we in trouble right now?
Or did we let it get too far away?
Drifting further from our reach
'Cause there's no holy water
Yeah, there's no remedy to wash away
Oh the stain that runs so deep
'Cause if I'm the one you want the most
Why did you walk away?
(Why did you walk away?)

So we raise hands up high in the sky
Full speed
Then we cover our eyes
Just dance
No, do not cry
Bite down
'Cause my jaw is tight
Stay close
Yeah, hold me tight
Full steam
'Cause I'm in love with the lie
Deaf, dumb, and blind
Are we okay, are we alright?

A world away
Yeah, I'm calling out your name
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet

No, do not cry
Bite down
My jaw is tight

No, do not cry
Bite down
My jaw is tight

From a world away
Yeah, I'm calling out your name
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet
