alone in my room, i'm barred from the world
i've chosen this prison to block me from yours
there's no need for acceptance, no need to be torn
no need to be welcomed then pushed out and scorned
no need for acceptance, no need to be torn
cause i'll stand on the outside, i will not conform!
back in reality they sneer and deface
but they're just the decor taking up space!
outcast outcast, out of reach out of line
outcast outcast, out of tune out of time
outcast outcast, avoided ignored
outcast outcast outcast outcast
i'd rather be an outcast!
content with resentment, rejected by choice
i'm wielding my own thoughts, i have my own voice
outcast outcast, out of reach out of line
outcast outcast, out of tune out of time
outcast outcast, avoided ignored
outcast outcast outcast outcast
i'd rather be an outcast...
and i know i'll outlast you!
