Go Stapled shut inside an outside world And I'm sealed in tight Bizarre but right at home I'm 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 up on all your sordid little insurrections I've got no time to lose I'm just caught up in all the cattle Fray the strings Through the sheathes 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 I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt And 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 ever do is delay My every attempt to evade The end of the road is my end It justifies my means All I ever do is delay I haven't time 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 Yeah yeah yeah yeah Ooh
