Before

It has been much too long
Since I put on my skin
They must have hid it away when they found out where I'd been
I don't think you belong
You'd best get out of here
I see you hidden away through the window, drenched with fear

Getting hard to see
Don't forget to breathe
Now you've lost the feed
Time to watch you bleed

Why are you trying to find
The secrets left behind
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
The present past is gone
Your future won't be long
Don't risk your life in search of all the things that came before
In 1987
They didn't go to heaven
Soon as the cameras die
I won't be far behind
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before

Seems you won't heed my warning
You just keep coming back
Despite hallucinations giving you these heart attacks
But now my time is coming
I'll be the last to laugh
The spirits can't protect you when you're being torn in half

Getting hard to see
Don't forget to breathe
Now you've lost the feed
Time to watch you bleed

Why are you trying to find
The secrets left behind
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
The present past is gone
Your future won't be long
Don't risk your life in search of all the things that came before
Investigations be damned
You'll never know who I am
You may have saved their souls
But you just played your role
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before

Why are you trying to find
The secrets left behind
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
The present past is gone
Your future won't be long
Don't risk your life in search of all the things that came before
You'd best stop wasting your time
Reading between the scan lines
So long as number four
Does not build on the lore
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
You'll never know exactly what it is that came before
