"My Own Spotlight"

Now I wanna get out of my head just a bit
Wrap my thoughts around what I've got
I keep thinking I want more than this
My hearts burnt out my mind on overdrive
My feelings bruised from the rides

Now I've gone and lost my head and need to sit
And in my head I just want to leave this spot
My soul so close to the abyss
Now I just want to feel alive
I keep thinking about other times...

These words first poured out years ago

When I thought I found love that would last forever

And with tainted feelings and a few twisted words

Everything has a new meaning

But as for me…

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

But I don’t know where to start I still feel so lost

Where does one begin after that

Years of foundation just spent building

No wonder everything fell apart then

There was no me to hold us

So you just left me to choke on your exhaust

With no dimension just left here feeling flat

Delusions you left me feeling

I know I’ll be content again

Too much to say now but I digress

That time when I believed your lies

And stood behind you as you basked in your spotlight

I never said that I wanted it on my own

But damn it I deserve to shine

And now for me…

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

Once upon a time I said…  Now I wanna get out of my head just a bit, wrap my thoughts around what I’ve found and what I’ve got…I know I want some more of this!  My hearts on over drive, my feelings are not to hide.  Now I’ve gone and lost my head I need to sit.  And in my head I never want to leave this spot!  My soul so far from the abyss… never felt so alive, I’m so ready for this ride.

But now it’s time…

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

I want to shine in my own spotlight

Shine on my own, shine on my own

"Light & Darkness"

Jaded glances, quick fire judgments, won’t be acknowledged by me.
I am me for better or for worse and I can’t change what you think you see.
I can’t be the angel that everyone thinks that I am.
And I’m not the devil that I try to be and then condemn.

I’m living in the twilight somewhere between the light and darkness and it’s where I belong.

At my darkest, what I see as a glimmer you see as a light.
When I feel that I’m doing it all wrong you just tell me it’s all right.
I was off kilter but it was a hazy illusion.
My life’s too young and promising to jump to a conclusion.

I’m living in the twilight somewhere between the light and darkness and it’s where I belong.

I won’t fade in the light, I’ll shine on and on and on. 

And in the darkness, I’ll be my own beacon of hope.

I’m living in the twilight somewhere between the light and darkness and it’s where I belong.
