Replay Chameleon

Chameleon on the stage, playing every role
Lost in the spectrum of faces, a fragmented Soul

Just like the many-faced Death-Gods, I've adapted
Pulled a thousand faces, personalities I've crafted
Purity for this one, conformity for that
Silly for these, subservient to the last
Believe I was real for you, now it's my time to blast

Chameleon in the limelight, colors shifting in my mind
A spectrum-born master, an identity to find
My world ain't like yours, it's differently designed
In the Mirror, pieces shattered, my twisted Soul to bind

My youth remains a desert, identity like shifting sand
Mimicking the world around me, he only way I could understand
My spectrum-gift, a shapeshifter in a neurotypical land
I learned the alphabet of autism masks before I could even stand

Chameleon in the Shadow, shifting to survive
Caught between a thousand faces, just trying to feel alive
They call it lying, but it's adapting to the drive
In the Mirror, shattered pieces, my Soul to revive

I've dated and I've loved, but the Truth's hard to impress
How to be intimate when you can't define your address
Took some Time alone, faced the Mirror in distress
Shattered by denial, revealed a Soul that's a hot mess

The world sees a Dark Crystal, critics see a shallow jest
They see just a Movie, but it's C-PTSD's Quest
Swallow my pride, admit my view is askew
My lens is forged from pain, trauma's residue

Chameleon on the stage, playing every role
Lost in a spectrum of faces, a fragmented Soul
They claim I'm wrong, but I'm just filling these holes
In the Mirror, scattered pieces, my Soul to console

Don't tell me I'm the villain when I'm just adjusting my aim
This chameleon's only seeking a place to claim
Searching the Darkest corners, purifying the Shards
In the Mirror, fractured Pieces, a Soul healing, standing guard

Chameleon on the stage, playing every role
Lost in a spectrum of faces, a fragmented Soul
They claim I'm wrong, but I'm just filling these holes
In the Mirror, scattered Pieces, my Soul left to console

Chameleon in the Shadow, shifting to survive
Caught between a thousand faces, just trying to feel alive
