Far from perfect lyrics - Rise Against song

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

The pieces of our hearts all gravitated
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

In every color we shine
A tapestry of scars
With every thread
We're growing stronger and moving on
We're 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
But perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
We are goddamn works of art

Yeah we are
Perfect as we are
Perfect as we are
