Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
You've got sucker's luck
Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind
The way you trouble mine?
Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
Well, you lived so much
Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind
The way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
No, you're thinking too fast
You're like marbles on glass
Vilify
Don't even try
Vilify
Don't even try
You've got sucker's luck
Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind
The way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Did you fall for the same
Empty answers again?
Vilify
Don't even try
Vilify
Don't even try
Vilify
Don't even try
Vilify
Don't even try
