Chameleon

Crawling through walls of limitless self-deception Your desire is to wire my brain to misconception Slithering into hearts, seducing timid minds Hysteria is regular but sweetened by your lies Changing your colors to fit the picture of the moment You’re killing while thrilling in subtle mental torment I despise your ways -- your fake smile makes me sick Keep it up, little lizard, and your soul He will evict [REFRAIN] Chameleon You’re the master of blind conformity Chameleon The bitter taste of hateful animosity Chameleon You’re here to set up my final fatal folly Chameleon Breaker of dreams, societal anomaly But there’s something more in life than YOU Give me one more kiss, so my lips can rot with poison Your so-called love ain’t from above, it’s spawned from evil notion Seduce me with your smile, bludgeon me with praise Turn my back to a whack, asleep in your web of haze I regurgitate your affection, before you stop my heart from beating I know who you are, what you are, my blood spilt from your deceiving Your breaking your breaking your breaking my heart Twist the knife, bring the strife, kill my sense of compassion Your breaking your breaking your breaking my heart Support me while I stand, kick my while I’m down [REFRAIN] Why?This is the beginning of a song-in-progress (so it's by no means completed). Just a means of venting after one too many encounters with people who do nothing but masquerade. Written March 15th, 2002 © on Mar 14 2002 05:41 PM PST   20 • 0 • 1
