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, 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 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
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

    I think this song is about evolution of you...the dark metaphors...

    Stapled Shut Inside and outside world And I'm sealed in tight Bizarre but right at home I'm claustrophobic Closing in And I'm catastrophic Not again

    or darkness, but not now...not anymore. Because you're smeared in the tenacity, even though obscene....to have others catch the sordid dusts...of you...because you're not giving up.

    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

    you're also evolving into a star: with your own 'luck' which is why you have no time to lose...

    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!

    you were just a baby before an adult... with confidence finally found after you realized that you were more than just a person. you will remember..

    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

    this is the downfall to when you are depressed...which is measured with

    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!

    'My end.' This is like the symbolism with the dark metaphors and why you should disobey their existence..but not all the way. you should disobey the fact that they hurt you...so you can move on. because if you consider darkness death than death will consume you some day.
