Original lyrics from "The Chameleons" One cold damp evening The world stood still I watched as I held my breath A silhouette I thought I knew Came through And someone spoke to me Whispered in my ear This fantasy's for you Fantasies are "in" this year My whole life passed before my eyes I thought What they say is true I shed my skin and my disguise And cold, numb and naked I emerged from my cocoon And a half remembered tune Played softly in my head He said Then he turned smiling... He turned smiling... I realise a miracle is due I dedicate this melody to you I realise a miracle is due I dedicate this melody to you But is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air I realise a miracle is due I dedicate this melody to all of you But is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air Floating on air... And it feels like I'm everywhere It's like you fail to make the connection You know how vital it is (Someone's banging on my door) Or when something slips through your fingers You know how precious it is (Someone's banging on my door) Well you reach the point where you know It's only your second skin It's only your second skin It's only your second skin

I've thought about it hell, about a million times. It takes all my strength just to keep it calm. But I'll have to tell myself, it's better just to breathe. Holding it inside, only help to do me in. Each time I close my eyes, I see another chain. It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of. I need a second skin, something to hold me up. Can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug myself right back in. Just to wake up tells me, hell I must be brave. It hits me like a drug, shot into my veins. But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain. Immobilizing me, Almost makes me think I'm dead. But I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me tough. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin, Something I can not break out of. But I'll just tell myself girl, just let it breathe. It's a calmness, I'm always searching for. But the dirt it gets so heavy, It falls above my head. Seeping from under my feet, It just keeps on getting deeper. I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me up. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin Something I cannot break free of. Though no one ever said it'd be easy. Still one's left to deny. The choice that comes between, Your willingness to survive. Now you're know what you stand up against, A world set to deceive. You need a special strength yeah. I've got that second skin. I've got that chance to give. I've got the only way that I know how to live with it. But I'll need that second skin, Something to hold me tough. I'll need a second skin, Something I can not break out of.

Pariah from society Addicted to sobriety A product of a virgin birth, another God on Earth Yes, that's your fantasy You say that you could read my mind Be careful of what you might find You think that you can be like me and see what my eyes see But you're no friend of mine Do you believe every word I say? Make your own truth and get out of my way I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah An angel or the Antichrist A symbol of your own device Pathetic in your own sad way You're just one pill away from taking my advice Do you believe every word I say? Make up your mind and get out of my way I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah Do you believe that I'm from Heaven? That I descended from the sky? The graven image of a pseudo icon To worship me on high I'm not your saviour I got no wings to fly Just your pariah Don't look to me when your life is over I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah Ain't no messiah Just your pariah

Why would we do this to ourselves To not give up on our pride To not destroy the walls we build that keep ourselves in line Playing dead to the outside so no one can assume That we are human beings and alive on the inside I've acted so-called strength for so long I can barely tell how it feels to be honest to myself Though I could never become anyone else I'll let down my shield if you did the same I'd give up on my armour and expose myself Let's destroy all borders made upun our minds Let us have the courage to be alive I won't act so-called strength I won't act no strength It's the truth that hurts but the lie that makes you sick Pain is temporarily in difference to regrets Let us stand outside Waiting for the rain For our masks to be washed away Let us stand outside Waiting for the rain Until we can see each other's face

Tell me something certain because I long for purest truth I can't stand the chaos that rules my thoughts Show me something beautiful, something that enlightens this world Because all I see is darkness, or maybe I just can't see at all What's the final consequence When everything starts to crumble We're already sentenced, we've been sentenced from the start Do you think you're different? You just blind out the facts I wish that I could do the same, I wish I could escape This monolith on my chest keeps pulling me down Breathe in, breathe out These heavy thoughts in my head, they're pulling me underground Breathe in, breathe out Because everything that blooms will at one day start to fade No matter which road you choose, we all gonna rot in the end

Searching for sleep made me only find Loneliness besides the abyss in my mind Brightly awake i appear to be recaptured by childish fears I would go for a walk if I wasn't this tired I would love to stay, but I can't Staring into the dark won't brighten up my thoughts The faintest glimmer I see is blinding my eyes I wish i could turn my head off, just for one night Let us choose the longest way home so we can wander the streets Don't leave me alone with my thoughts, not in these walls Because darkness will bring silence, Silence makes us looks into our soul And I don't want to see it Not at day nor at night, not at all And I am honestly grateful for your sympathy But I'm still searching for sleep And you will always find me staring into the dark Trying to turn my head off Let us choose the longest way home so we can wander the streets Don't leave me alone with my thoughts, not in these walls Don't leave me alone cause I can't stand my thoughts
