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
