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 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 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 one who can do somethin' 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 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 spiralling 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 colours  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 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 hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways  Not goin' back to my old ways
