Old Ways

It was fun playin' with knives Until a blade Stuck in the left side of my chest Surprise And I'm down again I turn the page The story's mine No more watchin' the world from my doorstep Passin' me by 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 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 hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' 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 somethin' about it I fill the well with some water it's overflowin' Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds 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 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 hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Every scar The flames burn the mark I'm not afraid to fall I'm spiraling I'm spiraling I pass 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 These colors colors colors colors I'm not in the same place that I was I was And the best part about it Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it I fill the well with some water it's overflowin' Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds 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 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 hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways
