Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise There's more than what you see A semblance is protective A blinder for the eyes A place to hide and flee Flee and you'll never see What you're going to be If you throw away the key The truth from the past you can't make it last Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise There's more than what you see A semblance is protective A blinder for the eyes A place to hide and flee Flee and walk away From what you are this day If you are afraid to stay The truth from the past you can't make it last Beyond the shore the sea is filled up with sentiment and strength Here lie the thoughts imprisoned A field of forces and laments How can we hide here We need to change our ways How can we tell lies here We turn our eyes away From the truth, from the past You cannot make it last Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise There's more than what you see A semblance is protective A blinder for the eyes A place to hide and flee If you do not cease to run away from truth You will never see the shadow Of your dying youth A façade is what we all possess But on the inside it stays a mess Superficial changes won't recall the past Don't deny the clock is ticking And it's racing fast Fading tokens of our latter days Make us think we need to change our ways Deep, the feelings hide They're wasted from within And my shell will never break The truth from the past you can't make it last Beyond the shore the sea is filled up with sentiment and strength Here lie the thoughts imprisoned A field of forces and laments Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise A place to flee and hide and run away Lift the shadow
