I can feel the heat rising, everything is on fire
Today is a beautiful 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)
[hook]
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
[Verse 1]
Yesterday was a 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 you, you weathered it and poked its eyes out
With the thorn bush that you used to smell the roses
Stopped to inhale, can't even tell that your nose is stuffed
So focused on the bright side.
Then you floored 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]
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
[Verse 2]
You're so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like
It happens all the time, 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 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 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 'em, you could put the heel of your foot
Through the ceiling
[Bridge]
As as time passes, things change everyday
But wounds, wounds heal, but the 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
[hook]
[Bridge]
I feel the burn, watch the smoke as I turn
Rising, a phoenix from the flames,
I have learned, from fighting fights that were not mine,
Not with fists, but with wings that I will fly
[hook]
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]
[Bridge]
I feel the burn, watch the smoke as I turn
Rising, a phoenix from the flames,
I have learned, from fighting fights that were not mine,
Not with fists, but with wings that I will fly
[hook]
