Far From Perfect - Rise Against

Keeping up appearances, don’t break now

Or buckle from the weight

Pretend to laugh, but don’t laugh too loud

Do you feel the pressure building?

The anger spilling out now

Meanwhile, the cracks have formed on the masks we’ve worn up 'til now

We are far from perfect

But perfect as we are

We are bruised, we are broken

But we are goddamn works of art

Works of art

Pieces of our hearts are gravitating together but

Before we could be part of this mosaic

We had to break apart like glass

We’re falling faster than stars

Meanwhile, the cracks have formed on the masks we’ve worn up 'til now

Take a look

We are far from perfect

But perfect as we are

We are bruised, we are broken

But we are goddamn works of art

With every colour, we shine!

A tapestry of scars!

With every thread we’re

Growing stronger and moving onward

Finding right ways, despite the wrong ones

We’re clearing paths, blocked by storms

We’re finding the beauty

In what you’ve ignored

We are far from perfect

But perfect as we are

We are far from perfect

We’re perfect as we are

We are bruised, we are broken

But we are goddamn works of art

Yeah, we are perfect as we are

Perfect as we are
