Intro D# G#m x3
D# A#
[Verse 1]
D# Cm Fm A#
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard
D# Cm Fm A#
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices
D# Cm
It's endless, this debate
Fm A#
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave
D# Cm
The two dogs at my feet
Fm A#
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats
Gm G
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me
Cm Cm
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth
Fm A#
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks
[Chorus]
G# Fm D#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]
D# G#m
D# A#
[Verse 2]
D# Cm
And it's quiet, and I'm alone
Fm A#
And indifferent to the things I can know
D# Cm
I've exhausted my interest
Fm A#
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift
D# Cm
And I'm sorry for the mess
Fm A#
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess
Gm G
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head
Cm Cm
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead
Fm A#
Go testify your fundamental need
[Chorus]
G# Fm D# Cm C
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
Fm G# D#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]

D# Cm Fm A# x2
[Verse 3]
Gm G
Pirouette the waltz across the tight
Cm Cm
We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind
Fm A#
The life you want, the life you likely need
[Chorus]
G# Fm D# Cm C
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
Fm G# Cm F A#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Outro]
G# A#
Now that I can see what I'm supposed to be now
