separate left and right and slow down the tempo.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
GO!
[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 in 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...
close the shades
Hold your breath...
Listen
[Chorus] (x2)
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
[Interlude]
[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] (x2)
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!!!!
[Solo]
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] (x3)
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
OHHHH

okay if you need help on the melodic interlude thing (solo) go to the link and skip to 5:50 at least it will help write a better tab because i know that it's way different.
