Marionette Lyrics

48 and still
not light enough
ballerina girl
i keep her
spinning in her jewellery box
i see her
tie her ribbons so tight
they cut into her skin
deeper and deeper

hold her in my hands
make her understand
to ache is not the only way
to make you feel real

Keep on beyond these walls
We must be strong
Keep on beyond these walls
It won't be long
Red ruby lips
heavy eyelid clouds
if she wins tonight
she'll be touched by no one

hold her in my hands
make her understand
to ache is not the only way
to make you feel real
Keep on beyond these walls
We must be strong
Keep on beyond these walls
It won't be long
