Before I Forget

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… 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 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 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

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
