[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 (Lookin' out, cause)

[Hook: Sia] I'm standin' in the flames It's a beautiful kind of pain Settin' fire to yesterday Find the light, find the light, find the light

[Verse 1] 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 in the inferno and chant

[Hook: Sia] I'm standin' in the flames It's a beautiful kind of pain Settin' 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, 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 pullin' 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 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' you look down Cause you're so over 'em You could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling

[Bridge] As time passes Things change every day But wounds, wounds heal, but scars still remain the same But tomorrow today's going down in flames Throw the match, set the past ablaze

[Verse 3] 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'm standin' in the flames It's a beautiful kind of pain Settin' fire to yesterday Find the light, find the light, find the light

[Bridge: Sia] 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

[Hook: Sia] I'm standin' in the flames It's a beautiful kind of pain Settin' fire to yesterday Find the light, find the light, find the light
