Old Ways

It was fun playing with knives

Until the blade stuck in the left side of my chest, surprise

I'm 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

(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 blindfold

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

(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

Oh-ah, past the stars

I'm not burning out

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm not afraid anymore

And I'll 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'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
