Lyrics
Exile
Verse 1:
Wear your hood like a crown and rule over life, rule over me
To disguise this timeless creation
Bloodline will not dictate to me what to believe or to be in your kingdom
But you've got me livin' underground
Standing at an arms length
Thinking I've disgraced all the ones before me
If I play along, you'll get the best of me
Endlessly trying to measure up
Chorus:
The wisdom you seek pushed me so far away
'Cause fools always dream and do more with (childish faith) than your mind
(their belief)
Though you'll never be wrong, you're forgiveness starts today in my heart
Verse 2:
Wear this noose like a collar
To pull my way up, fight my way here in your design
Where you've got me livin' underground
Standing at an arms length
Thinking I'll replace the only ones who taught me
To never play along
But live with this lunacy, fantasy, dreaming of something more
Bridge:
I won't be here for long, I'm better off alone
I'll never find the worth you need from me
So build your kingdom tall above us all
But until your reign is over I will journey on
