Surrounded yet alone,
shrouded yet worn,

Peeling away from contact,
repelling away from an attack,

The world's nobody,
your own somebody,

A non-existential parody,
your own paradox timely,

Suffering away from the naked eye,
Yet too aloof to die that high.

The ultimate story of every lie,
that started with a simple tie.
