Shadow
existence where once there was light
Cloaked
in your darkness and all of its might
Deep
in your heart your tainted wounds cry
Sins
of your past you cannot deny
Chameleon
cloak hides the world from your ills
The
light in your eyes hides bittersweet pills
Thoughts
of the past roam free and unbridled
Covering
tracks of a sin, sad and unrivalled
Chameleon
princess I know what you hide
The
darkest of secrets you've buried inside
I know
what you did on that cool summer's eve
An
act of betrayal you cannot reprieve
As
you plunged in the dagger without regret
No
remorse on a face I'll never forget
On
this day of all days I remember it well
The unforgiving
secret you never can tell
The shame
you hide as you smile for bouquets
No
more will my heart jump at your gaze
Chameleon
existence hiding the truth
The
heart that was broken, the living proof
Shades
that you wear are transparent to me
As
you pretend that your life is now free
The
truth of it all you can never reveal
Lies
in your eyes you can never conceal
As I
look at you now I walk away gladly
Knowing
my life will never end sadly
Pain
that you caused gave me strength to survive
As I
walk with my shadows I know I'm alive
Chameleon
lady give a thought to your soul
With
the lies you pronounce you will never be whole
Chameleon
lady I bid you one last goodbye
With
a smile on my face and a shine in my eye
