Beautiful Pain (feat. Sia)

I can feel the heat rising

Everything is on fire

Today's a painful reminder of why

We can only get brighter

The further you put it behind you

But right now I'm on the inside

Looking out 'cause

I'm standing in the flames

And it's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light

I'm standing in the flames

And 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 is like the morning after

Your world is torn in half

You wake and it's 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 it's eye out

With the thorn bush that you

Used to smell the roses

Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose it stuffed

So focused on the bright side

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, standing in the inferno and chant

I'm standing in the flames

And it's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light

I'm standing in the flames

And 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 keepin'

You from leapin' off the mothafreakin' 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 them even after

All the shit you've 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 them

You could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling

As time passes things change everyday

But wounds, wounds heal, but scars still remain the same

But tomorrow today is 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 standing in the flames

And it's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light

I'm standing in the flames

And 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

And I'm standing in the flames

And it's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light

I'm standing in the flames

And it's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light, find the light, find the light
