[Intro] 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)
[Hook: Sia] Standing in the flames It’s a beautiful kind of pain Setting fire to yesterday Find the light, find the light, find the light
[Verse 1] Yesterday was the tornado warning, today is like the morning after Your world is torn in half, you wake and let's wait To start the morning process, rebuilding and you're still a work in progress Today is a whole new chapter, it's like an enormous asthma The thunderstorm has passed ya, your weather didn't poke 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 brightside, then you floor the gas pedal And hit the corner fast, the more asserted, never looking back May hit the curb, but everyday 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
[Hook]
[Verse 2] So familiarize 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 because you're weak and Everything seems so bleak and hopeless, the light that you're seeking It begins to seep in, that's the only thing keeping you From leaping off the motherfreaking deep end And I'm pulling 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 that 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 and you look down Cause you're so over them you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling
[Bridge] As time passes, things change everyday But wounds? Wounds heal, but scars still remaining the same But tomorrow today's going down in flames Throw the match at the gassed up place 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, you scream
[Hook]
[Outro: Sia] 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, with wings I will fly
