Only Way I'm Changed

[Intro]
Not looking back
Let’s leave behind
Ash on the past
I cut that line
[Verse 1]
I felt that chain on my neck, it was choking me slow
Every room, every face, I was dragging my ghost
I tried to fix it with fire, I tried to drink it to dust
Still woke up in the mirror with the same old rust
I got that light, I got that shine
Cut through the smoke in my crooked mind
I heard that name, it split the night
Pulled me from the wreck on the other side (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m looking forward to that glow
Jesus is the only road I know
My resolution, every day
Only way, only way, I’m changed
Stone cold heart, now it beats
Cracked wide open at Your feet
My evolution in Your flame
Only way, only way, I’m changed (hey)
[Verse 2]
I used to run with the wolves, teeth out, blood in my smile
Turned every promise to powder, burned every bridge in a mile
Now when the anger is rising, I feel that voice in my chest
“Lay that weapon down, son, this is how you rest”
I’ve got that grace in my veins, it’s a different rush
When the world talks loud, I don’t bite that bait, I hush
I walk through fire, but I don’t smell smoke
Got a Rock underfoot that will never roll (never fold)
[Chorus]
I’m looking forward to that glow
Jesus is the only road I know
My resolution, every day
Only way, only way, I’m changed
Stone cold heart, now it beats
Cracked wide open at Your feet
My evolution in Your flame
Only way, only way, I’m changed
[Bridge]
Used to love that darkness, thought it made me strong
Now I see that prison that I called my home
When the shadows circle, when they call my name
I answer with the blood, I’m not the same (not the same)
[Chorus]
I’m looking forward to that glow
Jesus is the only road I know
My resolution, every day
Only way, only way, I’m changed
Stone cold heart, now it beats
Cracked wide open at Your feet
My evolution in Your flame
Only way, only way, I’m changed
(Only way, only way, I’m changed)

Low, ominous intro with filtered guitars and subby bass, then a halftime groove where the rap sits tight against chugging palm-mutes. Choruses explode with stacked rock vocals and open chords; brief atmospheric pads in the bridge widen the stereo field before a final, aggressive drop back into the hook., nu metal, r&b, rock, hard rock, light
