Intro
| B | B | G#m7 | G | x4
[Verse 1]
B G#m7 G
This band is a pathogen
B G#m7 G
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
B G#m7
And now I cannot think the same
G B G#m7 G
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
B G#m7
These many lives we live as one
G B
F# congealing, performed character
G#m7 G B
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
G#m7 G
Then turn me inside out
B G#m7
All I do is think of myselves
G B G#m7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
G B G#m7
I chase the identity crisis
G B G#m7
I chase the ego trip
G B G#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
G (D)
I chase my own tail
[Interlude]

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