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’m 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’m 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 is my end

I am a world before I’m a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that…

This in my opinion is the best song off the new cd, this song is just fucking amazing and so well writen, maybe not what all you people just looking to listen to music just to get pissed off and angry are looking for but for all the people out there that actually listen to music for more than a way to get angry you should love this song, and almost every song off this amazing album

4ma, ever hear the song Cyberwast by fear factory? its about people like you that run their mouths over the internet because it makes them feel big, no one cares about your 5 word insults, if you have a good point you want to bring up, so be it if you just want to tell me off, safe it because i really dont care, this song sounds good to me i like it if you dont well then your loss instead of bitching about it go listen to some superjoint and be happy

since we are all citing songs here... listen to "Hooker with a Penis" by Tool...
that should put things in perspective.
and slavz, 4ma attacked six...
so why the fuck are you telling him to relax? he has the right to defend himself.

jesus christ, fucking 13 year olds.
this is definitely one of the best songs from the cd... if not the best,

I like this song but at the sametime I dont. I think this song would be better if was shorter(I know coming from an Opeth fan) but I think it drags on in certain parts. But I love the part where it slows down, you can actually here the bass pretty good there too.
