Beautiful Pain

I can feel the heat rising rising rising

Everything is on fire fire fire

Today's a painful reminder of why

It can only get brighter

The further you put it behind you

But right now I'm on the inside looking out

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

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

Yesterday was the tornado warning

Today's like the morning after your world is torn in half

You wake in 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 asthma

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 **erted

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 **

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 standin' in the flames

It's a beautiful kind of pain

Settin' fire to yesterday

Find the light find the light find the light

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

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 ** 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

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

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 livin' hell

Still a little piece of you dies as you scream

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

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

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 standin' in the flames

It's a beautiful kind of pain

Settin' fire to yesterday

Find the light find the light find the light

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
