Intro
| D | D | Bm7 | A# | x4
[Verse 1]
D Bm7 A#
This band is a pathogen
D Bm7 A#
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
D Bm7
And now I cannot think the same
A# D Bm7 A#
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
D Bm7
These many lives we live as one
A# D
A congealing, performed character
Bm7 A# D
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
Bm7 A#
Then turn me inside out
D Bm7
All I do is think of myselves
A# D Bm7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
A# D Bm7
I chase the identity crisis
A# D Bm7
I chase the ego trip
A# D Bm7
I chase the path of the righteous
A# (D)
I chase my own tail
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D Bm7
I exist as this
A# D Bm7 A#
Some concept based on projection from a project based on myself
D Bm7 A# D Bm7
That has reached its peak obsession as I can think of so little else
A# D Bm7
I think I’m a narcissist, maybe I’m a sociopath
A# D Bm7 A#
Could I just be self critical, or all at once at that?
[Chorus]
D Bm7 A# D Bm7
I chase the identity crisis
A# D Bm7
I chase the ego trip
A# D Bm7
I chase the path of the righteous
A# D
I chase my own tale
