[Verse] I'm a puppet lost in shifting sand Strings undone I can't withstand I think I lost my hand My plan Where did I just land [Prechorus] Torn apart No guiding thread Not alive Not quite dead [Chorus] I'm not of this brand Not of this place A hollow smile A painted face I'm not of this brand I don't belong The desert hums But it's all wrong [Verse 2] A marionette without its stage Lost in a play with no last page The sun burns down It twists my frame The wind erases even my name [Chorus] I'm not of this brand Not of this place A hollow smile A painted face I'm not of this brand I don't belong The desert hums But it's all wrong [Bridge] The sand it whispers The sand it screams Falling deeper into fractured dreams A puppet's shadow A lifeless mime Dancing alone Outside of time
