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 |
