    Light After Dark II: Time to Shine is Reggae/Dancehall artist Paul Anthony's second installment to his "Light After Dark" series which began 7 years ago. The phrase "Light After Dark" is a metaphor for searching for rays of light (positivity) in the midst of adversity. Paul's progression as an artist and an individual is displayed on this project with thoughtful lyrics about mental health and self-awareness.

lyrics

I don’t wanna wait in vain
Love hurts but I love the pain
Shots of novacaine through my brain
I’m about to I’m about to go insane
I don’t wanna lose you baby
If I did it would drive me crazy
Without you everything seem hazy
Stay close to me
where you’re supposed to be

You say I’m selfish
Cuz I need you for myself
It’s bad for my health
Girl, but I don’t want nobody else, yeah
And I know... I can be a little extreme
You brighten up my world like high beams
Nuff a dem a say how love is blinding
But a you bring di clarity like mi visine
Fi di girl of my dreams
I melt like ice cream
Anytime you’re around
I’m in the presence of a queen
You show me love that sweet like 16
Or a fruit from a tree
Or a kool summer breeze yeah...
That’s why mi can’t stand fi lose you
But you’re moving away and I can feel it
Now you’re telling me
you need some space
Mi mind just start fi go race...

I don’t wanna wait in vain
Love hurts but I love the pain
Shots of novacaine through my brain
I’m about to I’m about to go insane
I don’t wanna lose you baby
If I did it would drive me crazy
Without you everything seem hazy
Stay close to me
where you’re supposed to be

Don’t give up on me now
Can’t let the negativity come between us girl
I know you got your fears
Anxiety and despair
Talk to me, don’t push me away
I need to hear
all the words you’ve got to say
We can take it day by day
So baby won’t you just stay
If you leave me, I will cry
I will cry, until mi eye dem run dry
Can’t sit down
Cuz you know I am a stand up guy
Without you every little thing won’t be alright... No!
Through the darkness, you were my light
And right ya now, I’m just lost in the night
I might be okay, then again I may never
Cuz we belong to together er er

I don’t wanna wait in vain
Love hurts but I love the pain
Shots of novocaine through my brain
I’m about to I’m about to go insane
I don’t wanna lose you baby
If I did it would drive me crazy
Without you everything seem hazy
Stay close to me
where you’re supposed to be
I don’t wanna wait in vain
Love hurts but I love the pain
Shots of novocaine through my brain
I’m about to I’m about to go insane
I don’t wanna lose you baby
If I did it would drive me crazy
Without you everything seem hazy
Stay close to me
where you’re supposed to be
