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 stringsÂ… throw the shapesÂ… hold your breathÂ… 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 [x2]
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 clutchÂ… pushed in placeÂ… hold your breathÂ… 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 [x2]
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 [x3]
