Intro
| A# | A# | Gm7 | Gb | x4
[Verse 1]
A# Gm7 Gb
This band is a pathogen
A# Gm7 Gb
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
A# Gm7
And now I cannot think the same
Gb A# Gm7 Gb
Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
A# Gm7
These many lives we live as one
Gb A#
F congealing, performed character
Gm7 Gb A#
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth
Gm7 Gb
Then turn me inside out
A# Gm7
All I do is think of myselves
Gb A# Gm7
How can I be dog?
[Chorus]
Gb A# Gm7
I chase the identity crisis
Gb A# Gm7
I chase the ego trip
Gb A# Gm7
I chase the path of the righteous
Gb (D)
I chase my own tail
[Interlude]
| A# | A# | Gm7 | Gb | x2
[Verse 2]
A# Gm7
I exist as this
Gb A# Gm7 Gb
Some concept based on projection from a project based on myself
A# Gm7 Gb A# Gm7
That has reached its peak obsession as I can think of so little else
Gb A# Gm7
I think I’m a narcissist, maybe I’m a sociopath
Gb A# Gm7 Gb
Could I just be self critical, or all at once at that?
[Chorus]
A# Gm7 Gb A# Gm7
I chase the identity crisis
Gb A# Gm7
I chase the ego trip
Gb A# Gm7
I chase the path of the righteous
Gb A#
I chase my own tale
