Fade Away 02:56
Welcome to my life You walk a mile in my shoes It’s gonna be alright We gonna set the captives loose Echoes in the night We wanna dance away like fools But I gotta sit tight I’m in a dream just like you Fade Away, fade away, fade away now You gotta fade away now Welcome to my life!

Burnin' Ash 03:02
“Burnin Ash” In a world where the stars align Chasing dreams, baby you caught my eye One name strong that echoes through the night I’m drawn to you like a moth to light That laugh is strong, like a melody in the breeze Lost in your eyes, baby I’m at ease Through the moonlight we dance and sway In this chase baby, I found my way I found my, I found my way Fleeting moments, Like whispers in the wind In this pursuit, a love begins Through valleys low, and mountains high For Ashley’s love, I’ll touch the sky Hand in hand, we’ll face the unknown In this chase, our love has grown Through the moonlight we’ll dance and sway In this chase, I found my way Hand in hand, we’ll face the unknown In this chase, our love has grown Through the moonlight we’ll dance and sway In this chase, I said I found my way I found my, I found my way

“By Way Of RVA” RVA, RVA, RVA, RVA Ooooooo Same old folks in the same old bars Same old stories of who they are In this town where memories bloom On familiar avenues Every street corner tells a tale Sadness, joy, and endless, trails But I found where I belong River City’s always home Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me… home Through the changes, through the years Homes the anchor calming fears Every step retraces pain But sweet memories still remain Sunsets paint the sky with hues In this place where love renews Back to roots where dreams were sown When I’m here I’m not alone Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me… home

“Mr. Nobody” Mr. Nobody’s always here cuz your always coming back around Lost in a world that moves so fast, you know I hate a crowd No fame, no fortune, no spotlight shining bright I’m just a nobody, here alone, walking through the night Imma find beauty in the moments of the silence that we share No grand illusions, no big dreams, nobody really cares I’m Mr. Nobody All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body I’m just a nobody, a simple canvas yet to paint In the gallery of life where stories are yet to acquaint No need for a mask, no pretense just to bear I’ll find my strength being in the essence we all share I’m Mr. Nobody All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body All the bodies, Anybody, Everybody, I’m Mr. Nobody… body

“Turn Of Events” I don’t need your lies Cuz my time is mine In my heart I’m fine It’s my time to shine Fire the drummer, silence the room No more echoes of that beat consumed The rhythms gone but we’ll find our way New chapters start on a new display Your style’s gone and it’s by disgrace That beats a struggle, a chaotic embrace To make a choice that cuts like a knife Cut off that child, seek a brand new life I don’t need your lies Cuz my time is mine In my heart I’m fine It’s my time to shine
