Old Ways

It was fun, playing with knives
Until the blade, stuck in the left side of my chest,
surprise
Knocked down again, I turn the page
The story's mine
No more watching the world from my doorstep, passing me by

And I'll 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 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 the only who can do
something 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 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 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

Oh, past 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
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold

And I just keep changing my 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
