----
 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 indiscretions
 I've got no time to lose I'm just
caught  up in all the cattle
 Frey 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!
 (Repeat)
 Cm---E
 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!
 (Repeat Chorus)

 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
 My end
 It justifies  my means
All  I ever do is delay
 My every  attempt to evade
 The end  of the road
 (Repeat Chorus thrice)
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
 yeah, yeah, yeah Oh!
