Before I Forget - Intellectual

[Intro]

[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

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

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 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

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, 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

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

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, oh

[Segue]

You're wasting it
