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

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