Appearances Lyrics by ​The Material

What We Are

2010

[Verse 1]
This isn't hide and seek
I left, you followed me
I need some time to think
And you know it
I'm feeling trapped inside
But too afraid to cry
I'm living my own lie
And you know it

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I've been keeping up appearances
But this smile's wearing thin

[Chorus]
Let me out, let me out
I think I might drown
I'm suffocating silently in front of the crowd
Let me out, let me out
I can't make a sound
I hate to say it but I think it's over

[Verse 2]
I struggle to hold on
But I'm trying to be strong
Hiding more then I let on
And you know it
I'm searching for a dream
A reason to believe
But I'm sinking underneath
And you know it

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I've been keeping up appearances
But this smile's wearing thin

[Chorus]
Let me out, let me out
I think I might drown
I'm suffocating silently in front of the crowd
Let me out, let me out
I can't make a sound
I hate to say it but I think it's over

[Bridge]
Let me out, let me out
I think I might drown
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, this smile's wearing thin

[Chorus]
Let me out, let me out
I think I might drown
I'm suffocating silently in front of the crowd
Let me out, let me out
I can't make a sound
I hate to say it but I think it's over
Over
