Beautiful Pain (feat. Sia)

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 (looking out, cause)

Sia:

I'm standing in the flames

It’s a beautiful kind of pain

Setting 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 asth-ma

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 at inferno and chant

Sia:

I'm standing in the flames

It’s a beautiful kind of pain

Setting 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 keeping

You from leaping off the mothafreakin' deep end

And I'm pulling for you to push through this feeling

And wit 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 chilling, 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 remaining 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

Sia:

I'm standing in the flames

It’s a beautiful kind of pain

Setting 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

Sia:

I'm standing in the flames

It’s a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light
