Before I Forget

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Go!

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm

Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home

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 upon all your sordid little insurrections

I've got no time to lose, and 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

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 have to do is delay

My every attempt to evade

The end of the road

And my end

It justifies my means

All I have to 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
