Changing Ways

[Intro]
Shadows cast beneath the cold, empty sky
Whispers of a place where spirits lie

[Verse one]
This place is so cold. 
Where people were once sold. 
A place still used for humans, 
Even if to only transfer them to demons. 

[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes warn me, a silent plea
Time to shift my destiny
Before I fall into despair
And become a spirit anywhere

[Chorus]
My eyes are giving me a warning,
Its time I start a changing my ways,
before, I end up that way.

[Verse 2]
I’m lost right here. 
All have a blank stare, 
Eyes sorrowful and wide. 
It looks as if someone has died. 

[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes warn me, a silent plea
Time to shift my destiny
Before I fall into despair
And become a spirit anywhere

[Chorus]
My eyes are giving me a warning,
Its time I start a changing my ways,
before, I end up that way.

[Verse 3]
Words meek and shallow.
Something only a widow could borrow. 
But why so sad? 
Could it be really that bad? 
Seeming so real. 
For the first time, 
I begin to feel,
The feeling they gave. 
When I was lowered into the grave. 

[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes warn me, a silent plea
Time to shift my destiny
Before I fall into despair
And become a spirit anywhere

[Chorus]
My eyes are giving me a warning,
Its time I start a changing my ways,
before, I end up that way.

I toss my head. 
Stumbling out of bed. 
I’ve got to ask for help today. 
Before I end up that 

[Outro]
I toss my head, I stumble free
Rising up to break these chains
Changing course before decay
Lest I fall into the shadowed way
