| I can feel the heat rising, everything is on fire
|
| Today is a painful reminder of why
|
| We can only get brighter
|
| The further you put it behind ya
|
| But right now I'm on the inside
|
| Lookin' out, 'cause
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| Yesterday was the tornado warning
|
| Today's like the morning after
|
| Your world is torn in half
|
| You wake in its wake to start the mourning process
|
| And rebuilding, you're still a work in progress
|
| Today's a whole new chapter
|
| It's like an enormous asthma
|
| Thunderstorm has passed ya
|
| You weathered it and poked its eye out
|
| With the thorn bush that you
|
| Used to smell the roses
|
| Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose is, stuffed
|
| So focused on the bright side
|
| Then you floor the gas pedal
|
| And hit the corner fast the more asserted
|
| Never looking back
|
| May hit the curb
|
| But every day is a new learning curve as you
|
| Steer through life, sometimes you might not wanna swerve
|
| But you have to
|
| To avert a disaster
|
| Lucky no permanent damage
|
| 'Cause they hurt you so bad
|
| It's like they murdered your ass
|
| And threw dirt on your casket but you've returned from the ashes
|
| And that hurt that you have, you just converted to gasoline
|
| And while you're burning the past, standing in the inferno and chant
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| You're so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like
|
| It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
|
| And it's as though you feel you've died
|
| 'Cause you've been killed inside
|
| But yet you're still alive
|
| Which means you will survive
|
| Although today you may weep 'cause you're weakened
|
| And everything seems so bleak and hopeless
|
| The light that you're seekin'
|
| It begins to seep in
|
| That's the only thing keepin'
|
| You from leapin' off the motherfreakin' deep end
|
| And I'm pullin' for you to push through this feeling
|
| And with a little time that should do the healing
|
| And by tomorrow
|
| You may even feel so good that you're willing to forgive 'em even after
|
| All the shit you been put through this feeling of resilience is building
|
| And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building
|
| You're sealed in but you're fireproof, flame retardant, you withstood it
|
| And as you climb up to the roof, you're just chillin' you look down
|
| 'Cause you're so over 'em
|
| You could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling
|
| As time passes
|
| Things change every day
|
| But wounds, wounds heal, but scars still remain the same
|
| But tomorrow today's going down in flames
|
| Throw the match, set the past ablaze
|
| So feel the fire beneath your feet as you barely even perspire
|
| From the heat
|
| Exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief
|
| And as you say goodbye to the grief
|
| It's like watching the walls melt in your prison cell
|
| But you've extinguished this living hell
|
| Still a little piece of you dies as you scream
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| I feel the burn, watch the smoke as I turn
|
| Rising, a phoenix from the flames
|
| I have learned, from fighting fights, that weren't mine
|
| Not with fists, but with wings that I will fly
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light
|
| I'm standin' in the flames
|
| It's a beautiful kind of pain
|
| Settin' fire to yesterday
|
| Find the light, find the light, find the light |
