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 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 But we are goddamn works of art Yeah we are, perfect as we are, perfect as we are
