This band is a pathogen
A F#m7 F
It’s damaging, reprogramming my brain
A F#m7
And now I cannot think the same

Please just give me some reprieve from how I am perceived
A F#m7
These many lives we live as one

E congealing, performed character
F#m7 F A
Fist me til your hand comes out my mouth

Then turn me inside out
A F#m7
All I do is think of myselves
F A F#m7
How can I be dog?

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

F A F#m7
I chase the path of the righteous
F A
I chase my own tale
