Intro
| C# | C# | A#m7 | A | x4
[Verse 1]
C# A#m7 A
This band is a pathogen
C# A#m7 A
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
C# A#m7
And now I cannot think the same
A C# A#m7 A
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
C# A#m7
These many lives we live as one
A C#
G# congealing, performed character
A#m7 A C#
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
A#m7 A
Then turn me inside out
C# A#m7
All I do is think of myselves
A C# A#m7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
A C# A#m7
I chase the identity crisis
A C# A#m7
I chase the ego trip
A C# A#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
A (D)
I chase my own tail
[Interlude]
| C# | C# | A#m7 | A | x2
[Verse 2]
C# A#m7
I exist as this
A C# A#m7 A
Some concept based on projection from a project based on myself
C# A#m7 A C# A#m7
That has reached its peak obsession as I can think of so little else
A C# A#m7
I think I’m a narcissist, maybe I’m a sociopath
A C# A#m7 A
Could I just be self critical, or all at once at that?
[Chorus]
C# A#m7 A C# A#m7
I chase the identity crisis
A C# A#m7
I chase the ego trip
A C# A#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
A C#
I chase my own tale
