Before I Forget
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 up on 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'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 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! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, OH!

One, two, three, nil! Chaos — it's just the beginning Every promise I made I'm rescinding Center mass in the middle of the monster I'm getting tired of drowning the constant Cry for help — it's debatable The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all Come on — come see dysfunction! I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion Who am I? Where am I going? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction Maybe I'm looking for any direction This is not my war — this is not my fight This is something more — this is not my life (This is not my) revolution (This is not my) convolution (This is not my) expectation (This is not my) desperation Holed up, scarred, and tamed for the hell of it Look at me — I am the glorified malcontent Save me? Save this! All I gotta do is give up and all is forgiven I'm sick of — being the butt of a cosmic joke And I don't get the punchline A million people lined up for miles To see the great big mouth shut up and apologize This is not my war — this is not my fight This is something more — this is not my life (This is not my) revolution (This is not my) convolution (This is not my) only reason to question why Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Yeah! I'm the pariah (break me) I am the liar (save me) I can take anything (make me) Accuse me of everything (kill me) Cut off the system (enslave me) Deny my existence (erase me) I won't be afraid (try me) I won't be unmade (free me) So come on — break it off! Come on — buy the lie Come on — say it, say it Come on Say goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today, I said goodbye! One, (one) two, (two) three, (three) Nil! (Nil!) Yes!
