Intro C# F#m x3
C# G#
[Verse 1]
C# A#m D#m G#
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard
C# A#m D#m G#
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices
C# A#m
It's endless, this debate
D#m G#
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave
C# A#m
The two dogs at my feet
D#m G#
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats
Fm F
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me
A#m A#m
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth
D#m G#
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks
[Chorus]
F# D#m C#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]
C# F#m
C# G#
[Verse 2]
C# A#m
And it's quiet, and I'm alone
D#m G#
And indifferent to the things I can know
C# A#m
I've exhausted my interest
D#m G#
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift
C# A#m
And I'm sorry for the mess
D#m G#
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess
Fm F
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head
A#m A#m
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead
D#m G#
Go testify your fundamental need
[Chorus]
F# D#m C# A#m A#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
D#m F# C#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]
C# F#m
C# G#
C# A#m D#m G# x2
[Verse 3]
Fm F
Pirouette the waltz across the tight
A#m A#m
We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind
D#m G#
The life you want, the life you likely need
[Chorus]
F# D#m C# A#m A#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
D#m F# A#m D# G#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Outro]
F# G#
Now that I can see what I'm supposed to be now
