The Chameleon

Surrounded by warfare and I'm fatigued
I keep it camouflaged so nobody sees
No 33rd degree but I'm a righteous man
Seeking deeper knowledge so as to overstand  
 
The demands of this game are overwhelming  
Many days that I play are extremely exhausting  
Taxing to my mental, physical, and spiritual cores  
Many times I keep it simple and just stay indoors  
 
More times than not I'd rather not even be bothered  
But I prevail through HELL like a ship that's chartered  
Departed from the dock as the clock counts down  
Bearing disguises for naked irises instead of frowns
