"Meltdown"

Come a little closer as the heat gets hotter

I’m feeling my body moving in directions

I never knew they’d go before

All at the sight of you

Wanting to get close to you

I don’t think that this night could get any better

Now I’ve got my head scanning all it sections

For reasons to get off the floor

Want to go home with you

Needing to get close to you

I just want to meltdown

My knees fall to the ground

I don’t want a let down

What is this that I’ve found

I just want to melt down

As my pulse skips a beat

I don’t want a let down

Now I’m feeling the heat

Now I want to 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 overdrive

My feelings are not to hide

Now I’ve gone and lost my head and 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

I just want to meltdown

My knees fall to the ground

I don’t want a let down

What is this that I’ve found

I just want to melt down

As my pulse skips a beat

I don’t want a let down

Now I’m feeling the heat

Heading for a meltdown

I don’t want to slow down

"The Light"

I shine

It’s obvious that I’m glowing

Something you’ve placed inside of me

Continues to flow from inside

I flow

And so do the words from my lips

Expressing emotions I feel

Whenever I hear your name

Even in the darkness of solitude

When you have to go away

A light shines through

The light in me

Is a beacon for you

Calling you home

Out of the storm

You give

Me strength when I have nothing left

Courage when I tremble with fear

And love above everything

You are

There for me when everyone’s gone

And linger inside of my heart

When you aren’t there by my side

Even in the darkness of solitude

When there’s nothing left for me

This light shines through

The light in me

You sparked a while ago

Filling a void

Making me whole

Even in the darkness of solitude

When you have to go away

When there’s nothing left for me

A light shines through

The light in me

Is a beacon for you

Calling you home

Out of the storm

The light in me

You sparked a while ago

Filling a void

Making me whole

"STAND UP!"

Everything in you reaches out for hope

As you run away for the unexpected

You’re on your own you have to find your way

Nothing will be like it is today

You can’t fade into obscurity

As life forces you out into the spotlight

So now it’s your chance to prove to us all

You have what it takes to be a man

Don’t think of looking back now

What you saw then won’t be there now

These are times when we need to rise

Feelings of fear are running high

The whole world seems out to get you

So just stand up, stand up, stand up

I once felt like I could never cope

All things coming at me from all directions

Forcing me to make choices I’d run from

No one gave me any other way

I took a chance and I pushed ahead

Leaving behind every comfort in my mind

Standing up to all the fears that hold me

And now I know that I can make it

Won’t think of looking back now

What I had then won’t be there now

There are times when we feel alone

Empty feelings creating voids

The whole world seems so unwelcoming

So I stand up, stand up, stand up

You can’t hide from it

It will come for you

You can’t suppress it

It will overwhelm you

These are times when we need to rise

Feelings of fear are running high

The whole world seems out to get you

So just stand up, stand up, stand up

There are times when we feel alone

Empty feelings creating voids

The whole world seems so unwelcoming

So I stand up, stand up, stand up

"Last On The List"

You did more that day than break my face

You snapped my life into view

A broken bone may hurt but I feel no pain

You’re crime helped me to understand

I’ve always chased the wrong guy

None have been worth my time

Although I’ve wasted too much

You took the last of my innocence

You’re the last on the list

Of the men who were not true

You’re the last on the list

My next will be better than you

You’re the last on the list

You fit in well with the rest

You’re the last on the list

The next one will pass the test

Up until you snapped and flipped on me

I wasn’t sure of my choice

It was when my blood pooled on your hardwood floors

That my every doubt left my brain

You’re not breaking the cycle

You just made it go round

I’ve spun out and now I see

Your ride was dangerous to my health

You’re the last on the list

Of the men who will hurt me

You’re the last on the list

I always knew but now I see

You’re the last on the list

And just like rest of them

You’re the last on the list

I’ve put you where you belong

I prayed that you would be last

I should have been careful what I wished for

Instead of my forever

You were just an ending

To a chapter, a turning point

Not a book, not my life
