Imperfect Lyrics
The leaves came with a turning twist
From leaves upon the floor
The heart skips with a crashing fall
Leave us always wanting more
The pulse picks up inside the dark
When the bells break in the woods
Our eyes so wide they give off light
You've never looked so good
Imperfect
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
May all these long long nights
show how truly far we have come
May all these dark dark tribes
bring us back to see the staying sun
Dead under your fingernails
Bruises on our thighs
Dresses ripped from wrestling
The sunlight in your eyes
Imperfect
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
May all our scars
Be signs of how truly far
We have come
May all these deaths from
Down the low
Come back to see the sun
Imperfect
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
Imperfect
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
Imperfect
From leaves upon the floor
The heart skips with a crashing fall
Leave us always wanting more
When the bells break in the woods
Our eyes so wide they give off light
You've never looked so good
Imperfect
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
May all these long long nights
show how truly far we have come
May all these dark dark tribes
bring us back to see the staying sun
Bruises on our thighs
Dresses ripped from wrestling
The sunlight in your eyes
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
Be signs of how truly far
We have come
May all these deaths from
Down the low
Come back to see the sun
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it
That's the way we want it
Blood and sweat
Swinging from the birches
All the way
You look so brave, yes
Never pointless
Love it when you get it

It's "dirt under your fingernails," not "dead."
In fact, a few of these lyrics aren't correct, so I've tried to post the right ones, but there's one I can't make out in the beginning.

Denise?/The east? came with a turning twist From leaves upon the floor The heart skips with a crashing fall Leave us always wanting more

The pulse picks up inside the dark When the boughs break in the woods Our eyes so wide they give off light You've never looked so good.
