Old Ways

It was fun playin' with knives

Until a blade

Stuck in the left side of my chest

Surprise

I'm not down again, I turned the page

The story's mine

No more watching the world from my doorstep

Passin' me by (passin' me by)

And I'll just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say no way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearing them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not going back to my old ways

Not going back to my old ways

(Not going back to my old ways)

Now I know what's good for me

All that I need

And I can't wait to sink my teeth in

And take another bite

And the best part about it

Is I'm only one who can do somethin' about it

I fill the well with some water, it's overflowing

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

And I'll just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say no way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearing them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not going back to my old ways

Not going back to my old ways

(Not going back to my old ways)

Every scar

The flames burnt them all

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling

Past the stars

I'm not burning out

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm not afraid anymore

And I just keep changin' my colors

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was

(And the best part about it)

(Is I'm only one who can do somethin' about it)

(I fill the well with some water, it's overflowing)

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold

And I just keep changin'

These colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place

That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me

I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say no way

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearing them all say

I'll go back to my old ways

Not going back to my old ways
