Far From Perfect is the spiritual successor to Rise Against’s song “Tragedy+Time” While “T+T” talked about having hope for the future and promised that with time scars fade, “Far From Perfect” is sort of the next step.

[Verse 1]
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]

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]
With every colour, we shine!

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
