Blixemi - Chameleon

Every night I feel it creeping in
Like the smoke foretells the fire
The storm follows the wind

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

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 look past all my flaws

I'm easy
I'm obedient
I'll change
Can't shy within
Don't see beyond my camouflage
As your chameleon

You're 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

Try to blend in
Stay inside your praise
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
Too see beyond my camouflage
As your chameleon

Built by a lifetime never knowing
Where i stand
I've changed so much of me
To keep your peace
I've forgotten who i am
And although
Now that I'm free from you -
And you colors fade to muted hues
It scares me
Because i start to see...
My colors 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
