"Far From Perfect (Ghost Note Symphonies)" lyrics - RISE AGAINST

Keeping up appearances, don't break now
Or buckle from the weight
Pretend to laugh, but don't laugh too loud

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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 are gravitated together but
Before we could be part of this mosaic

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
In every colour, we shine!
A tapestry of scars!
With every step 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

[Chorus:]
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
