Yesterday was the tornado warning, today's like the morning after your world is torn in half, you wake and let's wait 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 ass
(boom) thunderstorm has passed ya, you weathered it and poked itss eyes 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 faster, more assertive, 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, stand in that inferno and chant
[Hook: Sia]
I found her in the flames
But it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light
I found her in the flames
And it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light
[Verse 2]
So familiarize 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 because you've been killed inside
But yet you're still alive which means you must survive
Although today you may weep because you're weak and
Everything seems so bleek 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 him, even after all that shit you been put through
This feeling of resilience is building and the flames are burning quick as firewood 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 him you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling
As time passes, things change everyday
But wounds, wounds heal
The scars still remaining the same
But tomorrow today's goin' 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
[Hook: Sia]
I found her in the flames
But it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light
I found her in the flames
But it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light
[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, it's not with fists but with wings that I will fly
