Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You would wind me down
I struggled on the ground
So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
I struggle to fly now
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down
But I fought back loud
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
And I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No I don't care if I sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Alive
I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I played on my own
I survived
Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face
And it was mine
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And all in spite of you
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

One Million Bullets
Under the moonlight
Weathering with your warm embrace
I feel so safe here
Baby we're worth the wait

If you were the hero, yeah, I'd take a bullet for you
So take me in your arms, take me for all I have
Cause I'd give my life for one of your belly laughs

Unstoppable
[Sia:]
All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a racecar with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm unstoppable until you look the other way
Look the other way, look the other way
Look the other way, until you look the other way
Break down, only alone I will cry out now
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down, yeah, yeah
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a racecar with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm unstoppable until you look the other way
Look the other way, look the other way
Look the other way, until you look the other way
[Pusha T:]
Pretty isn't perfect, they told me I was worthless
Had to dig deeper with my cleats at the surface
Way more than physical, this is soul-searching
Pain from the pressure to perform equals purpose
No sympathy, nervous energy
Second place, one second don't remember me
I'm not stopping 'til the end
Got the sun on my face and my back is to the wind, yeah
What don't kill you only makes you stronger, yes
The road to glory takes a little longer, yes
What don't kill you only makes you stronger, yes
I got the will to go a little longer
I got the will to go a little longer
[Sia:]
I'm unstoppable and I'm invincible

Broke down, thought that I would drown
Hope that I've been found, 'fore I hit the ground
Sun rays out the corner of my eye, hey
Saw you weeping, saw you creeping
Saw you sneaking in the shadow's dawn
I feel so strong
Saw you out the corner of my eye
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I'mma savor it
Don't come for me today
I'm feeling good
I remember when

You came to take me away
So close I was to heaven's gates
But no baby, no baby, not today

I got good things to do with my life, yeah
Oh, I wanna dance in the open breeze
Feel the wind in my hair, hear the ocean sing

Footprints
I've fallen through the floor again, crashed into the basement
Your pain was swallowing me
I was like a leper when I couldn't even get up towards
The lights from the door was swallowing me
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Oh what if I had got the things I knew it was I
Who would have been done with you
Forgive me, I was lost and found
Who would never've left my side
Pick me up when I thought that I would die
You helped me and I was fine
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Your pain was swallowing me
I was like a leper when I couldn't even get up towards
The lights from the door was swallowing me
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Oh what if I had got the things I knew it was I
Who would have been done with you
Forgive me, I was lost and found
Who would never've left my side
Pick me up when I thought that I would die
You helped me and I was fine
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Broken Glass
Lay down your arms
I don't wanna fight anymore
Rough seas will be calm (will be, will be)
Hold on while we weather the storm
We fall down like dogs playin' dead
Well, our love's not worth playin' chicken with you
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
This too shall pass
When we are where we're meant to be
Learn things I don't ask
I am, I am gonna get her to me
We fall down like dogs playin' dead
Well, our love's not worth playin' chicken with you
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance

Space Between
Never ending symptoms in my head
We lay hollow in the emptiness
I'm too tired to push you from the bed
No more fighting, no more fighting
No more fighting for us
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
The space between is deafening
No one's moving, we lack the courage to
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core
No more fighting, there's no more fighting
There's no more fighting for us
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
No more fighting, we've given up now
Silence has more than worth
Imagination cures loneliness
When you become a prisoner
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
We lay hollow in the emptiness
I'm too tired to push you from the bed
No more fighting, no more fighting
No more fighting for us
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
The space between is deafening
No one's moving, we lack the courage to
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core
No more fighting, there's no more fighting
There's no more fighting for us
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
No more fighting, we've given up now
Silence has more than worth
Imagination cures loneliness
When you become a prisoner
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening

First Fighting A Sandstorm
I fought so hard for your heart, all the way down
And I thought that I could save you from destruction
But I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
No I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
Was fist-fighting a sandstorm
Now I ain't boxing anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful
Fist-fighting a sandstorm
Fist-fighting a sandstorm
Is a losing battle
Was fist-fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Fighting a sandstorm
Was fist-fighting a sandstorm
Was fist-fighting a sandstorm
But I won't fight it anymore
I'm letting go and it's beautiful
I was hurting, I couldn't let go, I couldn't leave you
And I told myself, told you myself, that we push through
But I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
No I was never in contro-o-ol, never in control
Fighting another war
Was fist-fighting a sandstorm

Summer Rain
My summer rain
I prepared for the worst in a storm
It doesn't take long before I'm shaking
I watch the news end, wait for the forecast
I fill a tall glass, try to be patient
It's been a long time, I feel my temperature rise
You might be moving too fast, oh
Wait for the sirens, sit in the silence
I sit on my hands
I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want my level, you've got to bring him, bring him down
I thought you were a game
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away the love I made
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
I was mistaken, but I feel safe here
So now we're making some kind of rainbow
The storm has broken, two words are spoken
And I am soaking, and now you're love so
Love me for all time, and feel my temperature rise
Thought you were moving too fast, oh
But I was just scared to let you into my head
And let you see my past
I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want my level, you've got to bring him, bring him down
I thought you were a game
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away the love I made
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
When you live in fear
You miss everything
I was struggling
When you stop fighting
The war within
Everybody wins
I thought you were a game
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away the love I made
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
I prepared for the worst in a storm
It doesn't take long before I'm shaking
I watch the news end, wait for the forecast
I fill a tall glass, try to be patient
It's been a long time, I feel my temperature rise
You might be moving too fast, oh
Wait for the sirens, sit in the silence
I sit on my hands
I feel the breeze, feel the sea swelling and drowning me
I feel the night, feel the sunlight, I feel everything
I feel your love, and I'm done and I surrender now
I want my level, you've got to bring him, bring him down
I thought you were a game
Turns out you were the summer rain
You came
To wash away the love I made
I needed you in every way
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
My summer rain
I was mistaken, but I feel safe here
So now we're making some kind of rainbow

This Is Acting is the seventh studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Sia. It was released on 29 January 2016 by Inertia, Monkey Puzzle and RCA Records. The album is mostly composed of songs written by Sia for other pop artists that were not included on their albums. Sia described songwriting for others as "play-acting," hence the title This Is Acting.
"Alive", the album's lead single, was released on 24 September 2015. The second single, "Cheap Thrills", was released on 11 February 2016. It reached the top 5 in a number of markets and marked Sia's first number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. A remix of the track featuring guest vocals from Sean Paul was also released. A deluxe edition of This Is Acting was released on 21 October 2016 featuring seven new tracks, including solo and Kendrick Lamar-assisted versions of the single "The Greatest". The album's fourth and final single, "Move Your Body", was released on 6 January 2017.
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Sia's vocals and deemed it a concept album. However, some criticized the impersonal and indirect nature of the songs. The album debuted at number one in Australia, and also reached number four on the US Billboard 200, selling 81,000 album equivalent units in its first week—of which 68,000 were from pure album sales, becoming Sia's highest first week sales in the country.
To further promote the album, Sia embarked on the accompanying Nostalgic for the Present Tour in September 2016. This Is Acting was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.
