Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I threw my fists at nothing Swinging at the air Got bruises on my knuckles From a shadow that wasn’t there I built a mirror in my head Where I’m never good enough Every crack shows my reflection Still I call my own bluff [Chorus] Perfection’s just a rumor A picture in my mind I tear it up I burn the frame And leave the lie behind We stumble Yeah we fracture We miss We bend We break We’re human and we’re breathing That’s the beauty of mistake (don’t quit, that’s a win) [Verse 2] You chase that shining statue Polished smooth and cold But it never says “I love you” It just wants control I’d rather be chipped and crooked Scars across my grin Every scratch a little story Every failure still a win [Chorus] Perfection’s just a rumor A picture in my mind I tear it up I burn the frame And leave the lie behind We stumble Yeah we fracture We miss We bend We break We’re human and we’re breathing That’s the beauty of mistake (oh, that’s the beauty) [Bridge] Yeah I fought with a ghost Til I fell to my knees Now I’m laughing in the ashes Of who I “had to” be If the best I’ve got Is this battered Beating skin Then I’m already special Every breath another win [Chorus] Perfection’s just a rumor A picture in my mind I tear it up I burn the frame And leave the lie behind We stumble Yeah we fracture We miss We bend We break We’re human and we’re breathing That’s the beauty of mistake We’re human and we’re breathing (don’t quit, that’s a win)
