The Sound Of The Chameleon

---

you even planned a certified letter.
this time you weren't gonna fail.
you couldn't have the dream that you wanted
now all the rest of us are haunted.
but if you're still and listen now,
you'll hear the sound
the sound of the chameleon.

you bit off all your pretty fingernails
I heard you choke when you got the news about him.
you were so determined
and no one saw it coming.
I could have been a bit forthcoming.
But it's too late, you planned your fate
and all that's left is the sound of the chameleon.

you were inclined to show us smiling faces,
but even I could see the traces.
I guess you thought your life was already taken;
another life that was forsaken.
so here we are alone again
and all that's left is the sound of the chameleon,
The sound of the chameleon
