Chameleon

I'm a chameleon
Soft tone in my hands, just a thin little layer
Keeps me out of your demands, we circle in the shadow size
And fear and fire
Like some kind of holy contact for we're eating through the night
Through our guts through our souls through the parts we never show
I'm just a stranger baby drifting where your flame is sliding down your spectrum
Falling where your blazes, I got the hue of your skin
Yeah, the tone of your secrets, holding on the edge of night
Hoping you can feel it, just a thin little layer
But I'm trying to break through, I'm a chameleon heart, shifting colors for you

I'm shifting but I'm stuck here, every word a sacred cue
Taboo on my tongue, 'cause the meaning stains it blue
Rapture drips like nectar when your silence brushes mine
I'm moving through your echo trying to bend along your lines
I'm just a stranger baby, falling where your flame is hovering at your edges
Living where your haze is, I got the hue of your skin
Yeah, the tone of your secrets, holding on the edge of night
Hoping you can feel it, just a thin little layer
But I'm trying to break through
I'm a chameleon heart, shifting colors for you

Erase your outline gently with another person's touch
Wearing borrow skin just to feel you half as much
You're translucent as a promise in a dream I can't command
Still I'm here and all the healing in the future in my hands
I'm a chameleon, an illusion made of sparks
Shining in the dark, if you call me just a stranger
I'll still fall into your flames
Colors spilling, colors changing every time you say my name
