[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Try to blend in, stay inside your graces
Can't find my place in these walls
My colours bleed as I hide and plead
Hope you look past all my flaws
I'm easy, I'm obedient
I'll change, can't show within
Don't see beyond my camouflage
As your chameleon
[Verse 2]
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
I hit my knees
[Chorus]
Try to blend in, stay inside your praises
Can't find my place in your walls
My colours 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
[Bridge]
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 your colours fade to muted hues
It scares me 'cause I start to see
My colour's faded too
[Chorus]
Try to blend in, stay inside their graces
Spent so long inside those walls
My colours 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
