Never Going Back

Never going back, no
Never going back to the man I was before
It was all an act, time to open a new door

Never going back
I will not dance with devil twice
I won't let my fears keep me up at night
After all these years I have yet to find
Who I am, but I am getting closer with each song I write
I won't falter, this time I'll fly high
I can take you to the water
But that doesn't mean I'll change your mind
I'll be at the slaughterhouse
How about I redefine
The parts of me longer needed and leave them behind?

Never going back, no
Never going back to the man I was before
It was all an act, time to open a new door
There's too much to unpack, no
There's no looking back, no
I am so sorry for the lack of the truth
I can't ignore, anymore
There are pieces of me missing
All the parts not yet explored

You're your worst enemy, this we seem to know
Some days I see the best in me, but most days I don't know
I don't know him anymore
He walked out the door
Put on a good show
But it's the final act, and he ain't coming back, no encore
I used to call them all my demons, in the end it was just me
I tried to sabotage myself, I needed help, I couldn't breathe
But I learned to dodge the negativity
Gain some flexibility, If you want to bend and never break
You gotta practice what your preach!

Never going back, no
Never going back to the man I was before
It was all an act, time to open a new door
There's too much to unpack, no
There's no looking back, no
I am so sorry for the lack of the truth
I can't ignore, anymore
There are pieces of me missing
All the parts not yet explored

Some days I wonder how I made it this far
Every day I would stare up at the stars
I would wake up and throw my armor on, dusk til dawn
I was fighting a war with myself, now he's gone!

Never going back, no
Never going back to the man I was before
It was all an act, time to open a new door
There's too much to unpack, no
There's no looking back, no
I am so sorry for the lack of the truth
I can't ignore, anymore
There are pieces of me missing
All the parts not yet explored

So rest in peace to, the part of me, now forever lost
My alter ego was no friend, but now he's gone, and at what cost?
No more can I pretend to be a person that I'm not
I guess it's time to meet the real me, someone I've forgot
