Go!
Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I’m
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I’m
Catastrophic, not again
I’m smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I’m the one who’s obscene
Catch me upon all your sordid little insurrections
I’ve got no time to lose, and I’m just caught up in all the cattle
Fray the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
Listen
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I’m ripped across the ditch, and settled in the dirt and I
I wear you like a stitch, yet I’m the one who’s hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I’ve got no right to win, I’m just caught up in all the battles
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
My end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road
And my end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
