[Verse 1]
E C#m7 C
This band is a pathogen
E C#m7 C
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
E C#m7
And now I cannot think the same
C E C#m7 C
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
E C#m7
These many lives we live as one
C E
B congealing, performed character
C#m7 C E
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
C#m7 C
Then turn me inside out
E C#m7
All I do is think of myselves
C E C#m7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
C E C#m7
I chase the identity crisis
C E C#m7
I chase the ego trip
C E C#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
C (D)
I chase my own tail

[Verse 2]
E C#m7
I exist as this
C E C#m7 C
Some concept based on projection from a project based on myself
E C#m7 C E C#m7
That has reached its peak obsession as I can think of so little else
C E C#m7
I think I’m a narcissist, maybe I’m a sociopath
C E C#m7 C
Could I just be self critical, or all at once at that?
[Chorus]
E C#m7 C E C#m7
I chase the identity crisis
C E C#m7
I chase the ego trip
C E C#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
C E
I chase my own tale
