Lyrics of Before I Forget by Slipknot
intro
Go
verse
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
verse
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
pre-chorus
Fray the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
And 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
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
verse
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 all the battles
verse
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
And 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
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
bridge
My end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The other road in my head
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
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
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
outro
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
