In my mind there is only a ringing

I think of the sweet nothing you used to say

The soul is a marionette without strings



Your words were death cap, keeping me swimming

Those words once kept my pain at bay

In my mind there is only ringing



You made my soul sing

And then cut me off, to my dismay

The soul is a marionette without strings



Once your being became everything

You found a muse, that day

In my mind there is only ringing



I ached for the feeling your touch brought me

And my mind began to fray

The soul is a marionette without strings



I only wished to bring you back from your fling

But instead in that grave you lay

In my mind there is only ringing

The soul is a marionette without strings
