Chameleon Boy

[Verse 1]

I changed my color for you

I shed my coat with caution

I lack the beauty you display

See here, there are the bruises

And some were self-inflicted

And some showed up along the way

So I nod my head

I'm ready for the world to see

The secret I kept here

Inside the man you thought I'd be

Slip into coma calm

The coma where I calm myself down

Here comes excuses why I let you down

[Chorus]

Stand by for another breakdown

Sound off the alarm

Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?

Chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

[Verse 2]

So now we've come upon

The hardest thing I've ever done

It's telling you that I'm a mess

What sort of mess, I mean

Is self-destructive gasoline

The kind that strips you of your best

And while I play instead

The way that most would end up dead

You sleep alone at home

And wish that I was in our bed

With this, I'm telling you

My color changes back to blue

How do I ask you this

Will you help me through?

[Chorus]

Stand by for another breakdown

Sound off the alarm

Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?

Stand by for another breakdown

Sound off the alarm

Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?

Chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

[Verse 3]

I try to think of all the people I looked up to

Or growing up, who would I be?

Now the twisted part

Where did all my idols end up?

They've all passed away

Passed away

[Outro]

Stand by, it's the chameleon boy

Stand by, it's the chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

I'm the chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

I'm the chameleon boy
