Chameleon Boy
By Blue October
I change my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See here they are the bruises
Some were self-inflincted
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
I slip into coma calm
The coma where I calm myself down
Here come excuses
Why I let you down
Stand by for another break down
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become
Chameleon Boy
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
While I play instead
The way that most would end up dead
You sleep alone at home and wish that I were 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?
I try to think of all the people I looked up to
While growing up who would I be?
Now the twisted part...Where did all of my idols end up?
They all past away
