This song had literally 4 different titles before it became Exorcise. A little tradition we have in End of an Era is naming songs long before it makes sense to give them a name.

lyrics

Don't want to be exorcised or compromised
For everything I know
Don't want any alibis to compromise
Everything that's shown

As he walks along the edge
He hears the words being said
And he wonders how it ever got this way
To be the one that has to see
The way things just shouldn't be
It's getting hard...

See, why can't you see
What's in my head
No one knows what I know
Be, why can't you be
Just how I am
No one's left

Don't want to be exorcised or compromised
For everything I know
Don't want any alibis to compromise
Everything that's shown

As he walks along the edge
He feels the ripping, piercing stares
And he knows he can not last much longer here
He screams so loud by no one hears
They're so immersed in all their fears
He knows it's wrong

Don't want to be exorcised or compromised
For everything I know
Don't want any alibis to compromise
Everything that's shown

See, why can't you see
What's in my head
No one knows what I know
Be, why can't you be
Just how I am
No one's left

Don't want to be exorcised or compromised
For everything I know
Don't want any alibis to compromise
Everything that's shown
