Lyrics
Caught in the ricochet
Of my intentions
Does it ease your pain
To know that I don't blame myself
We're both caught
In the same crime
But I escaped without a scratch
So how can any blame be mine
You don't know what it's like
Being a guy like me
And I don't want to see you crying
But I don't want to take the blame
I would love to make it right
Oh if only I had your shame
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man
Stuck in a bitter world
Of my invention
And things will always stay the same
As long as I don't blame myself
You're at the wrong place
At the wrong time
I know I really wronged your world
But everything is right in mine
You are alone
In your pain
And I don't want to see you crying
But I don't want to take the blame
I would love to make it right
Oh if only I had your shame
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man
Listen up
No heart
No demonstration
Of basic
Human compassion
No fear
No anticipation
Of well deserved
Retribution
I see you're unsatisfied but
I have nothing else to say
You want restitution
And I'm at a loss for words
Hey ricochet man
