Verse: 1
D Bm Em A
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard
D Bm Em A
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices
D Bm
It's endless, this debate
Em A
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave
D Bm
The two dogs at my feet
Em A
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats
F#m F#
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me
Bm Bm
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth
Em A
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks
G Em D
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?

Verse: 2
D Bm
And it's quiet, and I'm alone
Em A
And indifferent to the things I can know
D Bm
I've exhausted my interest
Em A
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift
D Bm
And I'm sorry for the mess
Em A
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess
F#m F#
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head
Bm Bm
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead
Em A
Go testify your fundamental need
G Em D Bm B
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
Em G D
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?

Pirouette the waltz across the tight

We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind
Em A
The life you want, the life you likely need
G Em D Bm B
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?

What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
