The year 2007

In '07 my soul sunk
And I never picked it up
I just learnt to feel with it being low
And learnt to be empty and full

And it left a hole inside my heart
And my heart has been troubled ever since
Cause I've never been complete
Even when I try to fill it

But my pulse has kept to its rhythm
It's always remained upbeat that's why I'm never lifeless
Cause even when I'm on the floor
I'd still wriggle and life would still flow through me 

My head was blank most days
That's why it can't make sense of it all
Cause it wonders how I've kept on
Without losing myself in the whole process

But for sure something changed in me in '07
If I stare long in the dark I can see it,
Cause when my soul sunk it sunk with all fear
That's why nothing ever holds me back, 
I always keep moving
