Keeping up appearances don't break now
We're buckled from the weight
Pretend to laugh but don't laugh too loud
Do you feel the pressure building
The anger spilling out now
Meanwhile cracks are formed on the masks we worn up till now
We are far from perfect
But perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
And we are god damn works of art
Works of art!
Pieces of our hearts are gravitating but
Before we could be part of this mosaic
We had to break apart like glass
We're falling faster than stars
Meanwhile cracks are formed on the masks we worn up till now
Take a look
We are far from perfect
We're perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
And we are god damn works of art
With every color we shine
A tapestry of scars
Without regret we're-
Growing stronger and moving on by
Finding right ways despite the wrong ones
We're clearing paths
We're locked by storms
We're finding the beauty
In what you've ignored
We are far from perfect
We're perfect as we are
We are far from perfect
We're perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
And we are god damn works of art
Yeah we are perfect as we are (perfect as we are)
The lyrics FAR FROM PERFECT of RISE AGAINST is also present in the album Wolves (2017)
