Lyrics

[Intro]
Go!
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Fray the strings… throw the shapes
Hold your breath… listen
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
Locked in clutch… pushed in place
Hold your breath… listen
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
