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. . . 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'm
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
My end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever 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
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. . . 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'm
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
My end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever 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
