[Verse 1]
Smoke curls from the barrel's end,
Another ghost fades into the wind.
No name, no face, no trace of sin,
Just the echo of where I’ve been.

[Pre-Chorus]
In every mirror I’m a stranger,
A phantom in a tailored suit.
I trade my soul for silence,
And the deal feels absolute.

[Chorus]
Shadows don’t cry, they just fade away,
Into the black where I earn my pay.
No mercy, no truth, just a crimson sky,
I live, I die, in the blink of an eye.

[Verse 2]
She left a note by the broken glass,
Said, “You can’t outrun your past.”
But I keep walking, head held low,
Through cities I’ll never call home.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every job’s another story,
Written in whispers and smoke.
My heartbeat marks the measure,
Of promises I never spoke.

[Chorus 2]
Shadows don’t cry, they just fade away,
Blood in the rain, I can’t wash away.
Crosshairs drawn on a dying light,
I kill the sun to hide the night.

[Outro solo]

Shadows Don't Cry

[Verse]
Sweet little thing come on over to me, 
I got some thing you might want to see
It’ built for loving and made for pleasing, 
You got the time baby I got the reason
Back in my room there’s a party for free, 
No one’s invited just you and me
We’ll close the doors turn out the lights
start a fire and let it burn, burn all night

[Chorus 1]
This loves got more to give, buckle up your seat belt.
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, all between you and me.
Hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put me in overdrive

[Verse 2]
I’m playing with your heart like a dog with a bone, 
make you scream and hollar make you Howl and moan
Cause I’m like a fire burning out of control, 
you can’t stop me better let me go
Or like a train rolling down the track, 
once I get started there ain’t no turning back
Just like a wolf creeping up on it’s prey, 
your lost in my woods and you ain’t gettin gettin away

[Chorus 2]
This loves got more to give, buckle up your seat belt.
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, it’s all between you and me.
Now hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, relax, kick back, let me put it in overdrive.

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, please me, it’s all between you and me.
Now hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put it in overdrive
This love is rising, it’s so surprising, it’s all between you and me
Hold on sweet thing cause were going for a ride, relax, kick back, let me put it in overdrive.
Shifting gears out of low, here we go, put me in overdrive

[Outro]

Overdrive

[Verse 1]
I walked through hell with my head held high,
Dreams turned to ashes, but I still tried.
Every scar’s a story that carved my name,
Every tear was fuel that fed the flame.

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t bow to the ghosts of my past,
This time I’m free, I’m built to last—

[Chorus ]
 I’m the fire they couldn’t drown,
A storm reborn from the battleground.
I’ve seen the edge and I turned to fight,
Carved my truth from endless night.
Now I’m standing tall, my heart alive,
I found my freedom — I will survive.

[Verse 2]
I’ve faced the dark where angels don’t dare,
Lost it all, but I found me there.
Now I see the light bleeding through the rain,
Every fall was worth the gain.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve bled through the silence, I’ve broken the chain,
Now I’m stronger for every ounce of pain—

[Chorus]
I’m the fire they couldn’t drown,
A storm reborn from the battleground.
I’ve seen the edge and I turned to fight,
Carved my truth from endless night.
Now I’m standing tall, my heart alive,
I found my freedom — I will survive.

[Bridge]
Every wound was a doorway through time,
Every loss was a reason to climb…

[Final Chorus]
 I’m the fire they couldn’t drown,
I wear my scars like a sacred crown.
Through the flames I found my light,
From broken chains I claimed my right.
Now I’m alive, no fear inside—
My soul reborn… and the fire still shines.

Storm Reborn

(Verse 1)
I walk the streets where we used to roam,
Your laughter echoes, but I’m here alone.
The moonlight fades, it don’t shine the same,
Since you left, darlin’, nothing feels the same.
We carved our dreams in the summer rain,
Swore forever, but forever’s changed.
Your shadow lingers in the corners of my mind,
A love so fierce, now so hard to find.

(Chorus)
Love lost, like a river run dry,
Fading stars in a cold, empty sky.
I’m holding on to memories that burn,
Love lost, and it’s never gonna return.

(Verse 2)
The coffee shop where we shared our plans,
Still smells of you, but it’s out of my hands.
Your favorite song plays on the radio low,
It cuts me deep, but I can’t let it show.
I see your face in the crowd sometimes,
A fleeting ghost in these lonesome nights.
I’d give it all just to hold you again,
But the story’s over, no way to pretend.

(Chorus)
Love lost, like a river run dry,
Fading stars in a cold, empty sky.
I’m holding on to memories that burn,
Love lost, and it’s never gonna return.

(Bridge)
I still wear your sweater when the nights get cold,
Clinging to the warmth of a love grown old.
Every heartbeat whispers your name,
But it’s just me now, playing this lonesome game.

(Chorus)
Love lost, like a river run dry,
Fading stars in a cold, empty sky.
I’m holding on to memories that burn,
Love lost, and it’s never gonna return.

So I’ll walk these streets till the pain subsides,
Chasing shadows where our love used to hide.
Love lost, it’s a wound that won’t mend,
But I’ll carry you with me, till my story ends.

(Solo)

I walk the streets where we used to
