[Verse 1]
D# Cm7 Cb
This band is a pathogen
D# Cm7 Cb
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
D# Cm7
And now I cannot think the same
Cb D# Cm7 Cb
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
D# Cm7
These many lives we live as one
Cb D#
A# congealing, performed character
Cm7 Cb D#
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
Cm7 Cb
Then turn me inside out
D# Cm7
All I do is think of myselves
Cb D# Cm7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
Cb D# Cm7
I chase the identity crisis
Cb D# Cm7
I chase the ego trip
Cb D# Cm7
I chase the path of the righteous
Cb (D)
I chase my own tail
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D# Cm7
I exist as this
Cb D# Cm7 Cb
Some concept based on projection from a project based on myself
D# Cm7 Cb D# Cm7
That has reached its peak obsession as I can think of so little else
Cb D# Cm7
I think I’m a narcissist, maybe I’m a sociopath
Cb D# Cm7 Cb
Could I just be self critical, or all at once at that?
[Chorus]
D# Cm7 Cb D# Cm7
I chase the identity crisis
Cb D# Cm7
I chase the ego trip
Cb D# Cm7
I chase the path of the righteous
Cb D#
I chase my own tale
