Bulletproof Soul

5 years ago sorrow was a known place and so was elation, now both places are strange and vague yet they're friends of mine. There was innocence and there were positive expectations and the freedom to run behind the elusive. There was no knowledge of a barren situation or a place where things jumble and plans crumble and sacrifice is all you can do. That time was never cherished, i don't know why but i never told myself that to cherish the day, i was busy chasing the sun. Hope was a happy word and not a tool strengthen yourself, it was what you lived on. You had no idea of what would happen if things didn't form the shapes you pictured and dreams were meant to come to fruition. It was an addiction, it was a high to keep moving, to keep driving yourself for more. Realism somehow lost itself into an uncharted territory and eyes were starry and the goal was no longer in sight yet you still kept running.

Dreams got bigger, hopes got fuller, faith was resolute but you forget what you really set out for, there was so much you wanted and so little time. At first the sun glistened and shone until it got too close and you were burnt till you shriveled. You awakened in this barren spot, life wasn't so fair and dreams were now further than ever. Lost is how i felt yet i kept chasing and yearning for more, how do you tell yourself to take it slow when you want so much more?

This grind repeated itself a million times and today you find yourself settling for whatever you have with flailing will and frail hope and little choice. You see old lovers with new friends, dreams working out for someone else, someone else is a star, sacrifices keep mounting and compromises keep piling. Life shows you an ugly side, yet something inside says faith never dies. And you will NOT let this bring you down and winter wont last so long. Every night you feel the chill and the stormy winds whistle outside but you know now you have a Bulletproof Soul. And nothing is impossible anymore and there's nothing you cant achieve. Nothing will hurt you, nothing can touch you because you have learnt the hard way. You now know you have a Bulletproof Soul.


Shot too many times right where it hurts, right where it bleeds
Love was a gun, no one won
You were trigger happy and this was the result, this was how it fares
But the story never ends for now you have a bulletproof soul

The sun is strong, it will burn you till you melt
You were wanting more, you tried to reach out
You found yourself alone, destroyed
But the sun fades for a brighter moon and stars are found
For now you have a bulletproof soul

The sea is endless, it will swallow you
You felt the thirst, you jumped right in
You drowned, you disappeared
But the waves brought you to the shore
For now you have a bulletproof soul

The rain wont stop, your drenched
You saw the fruit, you ran towards it
The storm caught you in its eye
but thunder led to sunshine and you were found
For now you have a bulletproof soul

A dream may have died last night
Morning brings new light
You may have lost yourself
But time finds you right in sight

There's nothing i cant do
For now i have a bulletproof soul

Bulletproof Soul :)
