Текст песни: Marionette + перевод

You took a hold of me like some cruel puppeteer. I’ve never felt so

powerless so paralyzed, so crippled by fear. Panic gripped me like the

hand of God, hit me like a hammer, crushed me like a juggernaut. Left

me broken down and out and open, thrown from the twenty third floor

without a parachute. Wake me up, tell me it’s all a bad dream, that

I’ve been accidentally cast in some tragicomic scene, that I’m

mistaken, must have misheard, misunderstood that everything will be

OK, just like I told you that it would. I know you’re a thousand miles

away, but still you stalk my thoughts like a shadow every day. Time

and distance both seem meaningless. What I’d give just to forget, to

take away the pain. And you haunt me like a spectre of a part of me

that’s died. You taunt me like the crosses on my calendar remind me of

the days and nights before us that you chose to leave behind. In the

end love will tear us apart. I struggle and I strangle to surrender to

speech all the sentiments that I’ve endured the past few months and

weeks. I stutter and I stammer in false starts and fits. I fumble for

the language to utter my regrets. I’m scared to death of everything

that you made me feel, crushed by the weight of the world, I wish to

God this wasn’t real. You’re not a girl, you’re a ghost, you’re an

apparition. I’m not anything anymore. Metaphor is a poor excuse, vague

and out of focus, to mask emotions you’ll never have. If you have to

ask, you already know. The beat of the kick drum just gives rhythm to

a madness you’ll never understand. I used to read your thoughts like a

book but actions speak louder than your words ever could. We just told

each other what we needed to hear, deceived by the distance, cheated

by despair. In the beginning I sang with hope, now I stifle screams,

choke back your name caught in my throat. It’s easier for me to walk

away.
