In this world, you are incarcerated;
As an outcast, you are liberated.

When people are born in prisons;
Little do they know about freedom,
Little lesser about authenticity.

Running to yourself, running away from the world;
Running away from the prison of this din.
Suicide is a crime and euthanasia, not worth a dime.

Those fake lights, those spotlights, that dreadful fame are so foreign, so alien.
An epilogue, an epitaph, an afterthought, an outcast - that is the comfort zone.

Why is this prison adamant on snatching away the only thing that has belonged to me?

My solace, my solitude - the romanticism of being alone and outcast - do not take away my blanket.

Winter is home. I know not any light, I dread it.
An epilogue, an epitaph, an afterthought, an outcast. I am finally home.

My armour is my companion for so long, it feels like a blanket, little lost, not forlorn.

Let me scamper away and count the galaxies and locate which part of pixie dust do I represent.

An epilogue, an epitaph, an afterthought, an outcast.
