Face Down Chameleon Lyrics

I've tried everything, just to change the pain
Fractured dream, and I'm not the same
I've lost ability to escape in sleep
Hold on a little longer
And there's nothing left of me

And you said you love me, and you said you needed me
But it's not me

Was never on the inside, too long to be alone
Was never like them, no identity of my own
I can be anything except myself, chameleon

And you said you know me, and you said you'd care for me
But it's not me

Traumatized by the voices inside Sold myself on a dream that lied
Do things that my friends don't recognize
And know I despise what I've come to feel
Fear constricts and I don't feel real
Parts of you begin to steal
I survive by adaptability
Why can't she see further inside of me
Pull me out and set me free
All I want is for you to let me be

Now I'm back and forth again
Pull me closer, push me away - chameleon
Why did it have to be you who did this to me?
