Black

I will be your chameleon I’ve been practicing all day Pretend you don’t know me For this is the role I’m destined to play I can be who you want All your desires will be filled But my life as I know it Has suddenly been stilled The curtain is drawn The lights blurring my vision Who knew this production Would cause our division My life has been shattered Could you not see the pieces? I’m down at your feet As your love, it decreases Does the love in your eyes Mimic the lack in your heart Was this what you wanted Our lives torn apart? And I know I’m not able To take it all back But tell me, how can I live With a soul that is black?
