Fire and Fury
Pressure & Shine
Took the weight of their design, a heavy, crooked line
Thought they'd crush me into dust, into nothing but rust
Just another lump of coal in a deep and hopeless hole
Meant for burning, meant for breaking, a life not worth the making.
But they didn't know the truth, you see
About the heart inside of me
It just takes a little pressure and time
To learn how to shine.
It's a slow and painful art, to mend a broken part
To find the beauty in the flaws, to rewrite all the laws
That tell you you're not good enough, that you'll always be this rough
Unfinished piece of stone that's better left alone.
But they didn't know the truth, you see
About the heart inside of me
It just takes a little pressure and time
To learn how to shine.
Now I'm looking in the mirror at the facets and the light
A diamond that was hiding in the darkness of the night
Every scar is now a prism, throwing rainbows on the wall
I didn't break, I just became more brilliant through it all.
But they didn't know the truth, you see
About the heart inside of me
It just takes a little pressure and time
To learn how to shine.
