Every night I feel it creeping in
Like the smoke foretells the fire
The storm follows the winds
I know I'll change my form,
I'll grow a varied skin.
To keep me safe and warm,
I'll be your chameleon
I change my mind to make you happy.
And I shape my thoughts
To mirror yours
Though I can't recognize
The face that stares back at me.
I will still change myself,
Just like I've done before
I hit the floor
Try to blend in,
Stay inside your graces,
Can't find my place in these walls.
The colors bleed
As I hide and plead...
Hope you'll look past all my flaws.
I'm easy.
I'm obedient.
I'll change.
Can't show within.
Don't see beyond my camoflouge,
As your chameleon
Your like a glass
That's built to shatter.
Your pieces sharp-
...but they're mine to clean.
Through years of bandaged hands,
You'd think I'd break the pattern.
But I've grown so used to you,
The cuts are home to me.
I hit my knees.
Try to blend in
Stay inside your praises
Can't find my place in your walls.
My colors bleed
As I hide and plead...
Hope you'll love me after all.
I'm easy.
Please believe me!
I won't give you one reason.
To see beyond my camouflage
As your chameleon.
Built by a lifetime never knowing
Where I stand
I've change so much of me
To keep your peace,
I've forgotten who I am.
And although
Now that I'm free from you-
And your colors fade to muted hues
It scares me,
Because I start to see...
My color has faded too.
Try to blend in,
Stay inside their graces,
Spent so long inside those walls!
My colors bleed
As I make believe
It's kept me safe and warm so long!
I'm scared to show-!
Or let people know-...
Can't give them one reason
To see beyond
My camouflage...
As their chameleon.
