Old Ways

It was fun playing with knives

Until a blade

Stuck in the left side of my chest

Surprise

And I'm down again I turn the page

The story's mine

No more watching the world from my doorstep

Passin' me by

And I just keep changing

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 goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' 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 the only who can do something about it

I fill the well with some water it's overflowin'

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

And I just keep changing

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 goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

Every scar

The flames burn the mark

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm spiraling

I'm spiraling

I pass the stars

I'm not burning out

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm not afraid anymore

And I just keep changing my colors

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

And the best part about it

Is I'm the only who can do something about it

I fill the well with some water it's overflowin'

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

And I just keep changing

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 goin' back to my old ways
