[Verse 1]
Selling myself short, dreams buried and gone
Never thought I'd be so lost hoping for more
I despise the day to day as my new norm
Where my heart doesn't feel like it beats at all

[Verse 2]
Ambition shaken and worn
Bound up like a lifeless corpse
And my existence against the wall
For a sense of purpose that can't be bought

[Chorus]
Can you see
I'm more than a puppet on your string
Without this dream
I'll forever be lost in obscurity
This dream is everything

[Verse 3]
It makes no sеnse
Keeping myself in debt
Ovеr going through the motions
Until the end
The price of a life led with less intent
Is holding back until I'm fucking dead

You'd never accept
I couldn't be you instead

[Chorus]
Can you see
I'm more than a puppet on your string
Without this dream
I'll forever be lost in obscurity
This dream is everything to me

[Bridge]
My existence still shaken and worn
You can't hold me back anymore
I am more than a puppet on your string
I hope you hear this in every word I sing
The purpose and passion
Worth all the pain that it brings
To build this dream, I won't die wondering
So why

[Outro Chorus]
Can't you see
I'm more than a puppet on your string
Without this dream
I'll forever be lost in obscurity
Lost in obscurity
