Old Ways

It was fun playing 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
Passing me by (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 (ways...)

Not going back to my old ways (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 one 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'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 (ways...)

Not going back to my old ways (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, ah
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 (colors...)
I'm not in the same place that I was, I was (I was...)

(And the best part about it)
(Is I'm the only one 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 blindfold

And I just keep changing (changing)
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place (same place)
That I was, I was, I was, I was

But if somebody tells me
I'll go back to my old ways (old ways)
I'm gonna say no way (no way)
I'm out of the doorway (doorway)
I'm hearing them all say
I'll go back to my old ways
Not going back to my old ways
