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