Weight Of The World (A Tribute to The Cars) 03:51
lyrics
buy track
You’re always just in time Your schedule’s never light There are no rose colored glasses in your purse To make things right Frenetic and frustrated Won’t shake a helping hand I can’t lift you up A heavy wish is your command You take a breath and sigh At the weight of the world The people passing by Pay no mind To the weight of the world You don’t leave much choice It’s never up to you You listen to those voices Making noise No point of view You take a breath and sigh At the weight of the world The people passing by Pay no mind To the weight of the world Slow yourself right down And let yourself relate Am I your perfect stranger Or am I just too late You take a breath and sigh At the weight of the world The people passing by Pay no mind To the weight of the world You hold it all inside Like the weight of the world No one ever pries They keep it light Forget the weight of the world

Awaken (A Tribute to The Cure) 04:06
lyrics
buy track
I wanna tell you all these things I never thought I’d say Breaking down this wall of fear: could we be so brave? If we share our secrets is it me who will be saved -Or you? I see the hesitation seeds of doubt clouding your eyes Unanswered love can be more scary than our lies I will take the first steps for this truth I can’t deny -Will you? Don’t wait for any moment Don’t waste another day Awaken all our senses We’ll remake ourselves this way And take a risk that we’ll replace All the pain we’ve locked away Is loneliness so dear to us Can we be healed again? Time is short there’s so much more to do when it’s too late The beating of our hearts is brief, the meaning never fades We fail but we can try again if we don’t play it safe Don’t wait for any moment Don’t waste another day Awaken all our senses We’ll remake ourselves this way And take a risk that we’ll replace The pain we’ve locked away Is loneliness so dear to us Can we be healed again? Solo Don’t wait for any moment Don’t waste another day Awaken all our senses we’ll We’ll remake ourselves today And take a risk thats we’ll replace All the pain we’ve locked away Only when we reveal ourselves Will we be healed again Share my love Share your love Share our love

That Same Mistake (A Tribute to Tom Petty) 04:34
lyrics

I wasn’t one to think too long Played it cool, thought it made me strong Didn’t try to understand I was too busy wrecking all our plans The LA dream faded long ago it never panned out, me going solo They may have that I have brains But I let you walk away Now I know why you had to go And its up me to step it up and show you So I’m looking just to find a way To get you back livin’ here with me again But you’re telling me that’s it’s too late And your heart won’t make that same mistake Baby I’m better than I was back then I’ve learned my lesson and I need a friend I know you don’t have much faith But my heart won’t make that same mistake Again Wasted so much time On this sunset boulevard of starry eyes But nothin here can make me feel The way you did honey, you’re the real deal I can people-watch, stare at my phone Wishing you were here, how I really miss home Everywhere with you was my favorite place Then-I let you slip away Now I know why you had to go It’s guess it’s up me to step it up and show you So I’m looking just to find a way To get you back livin’ here with me again But you’re telling me that’s it’s too late And your heart won’t make that same mistake Baby I’m better than I was back then I’ve learned my lesson boy I need a friend So you gotta try to find some faith Cuz my heart won’t make that same mistake Again Oh...It’s coming up strong The memories of all I got wrong And how you did me right Helped me find the man that I am today Gotta tell you this one more time I’m the one needin to apologize My own ambition Really closed my eyes But they’re finally wide open Is there anything that I can say To get you back livin’ here with me again Don’t tell me that’s its just too late And your heart won’t make that same mistake Cuz Baby I’m better than I was back then I’ve learned my lesson oh I need you, friend So baby please.. try and find faith Cuz my heart won’t make that same mistake Again

I don’t really need Filthy remedies Toxicity I’m just fine Find a host to breed Alleged emergency Can’t fix me But you gonna try I don’t need you inside It’s gettin ugly This inner leprosy Getting under my skin so white Out to get me Deadly chemistry Trying to bond to me so tight I won’t pay your price Do you want a piece of me One little bite at a time Eat away everything Just a seed left behind Get thee outta me Your disease I will fight Gotta find a needle So you fail to multiply Vaccine I need a vaccine Vaccine I need a vaccine Do you want a piece of me One little bite at a time Eat away everything Just a seed left behind Get thee outta me Your disease I will fight Gotta find a needle So you fail to multiply Vaccine I need a vaccine Vaccine I need a vaccine

Terabyte Times (A Tribute to Rush) 05:02
lyrics
buy track
We’re captured by this modern world Beyond imagination The wheels of progress turning Faster than our minds A covert revolution stirring The emerging revelation Breaking down our lives to bits It deconstructs mankind Recording every stolen moment Stored so every second’s seen Private thoughts, public faces Making sure to leave no trace We’re not as safe we may seem We let our stealth technology Become a cold reality Believing we’re secure’s a lie We’re digitized and occupied We live in terabyte times We go about our business Ignore the camera’s eye Make ourselves the enemy And hand away our rights So much information flows To so few operators Do we believe this serves us well Will we regret it later? Recording every stolen moment Recalled whenever there’s a need Private thoughts, public faces Making sure to leave no trace We’re not as safe we may seem We let our stealth technology Become a cold reality Believing we’re secure’s a lie We’re digitized and occupied We live in terabyte times Recording every stolen moment Replayed on dark computer screens Private thoughts, public faces Making sure to leave no trace We’re not as safe we may seem We let our stealth technology Become a cold reality Believing we’re secure’s a lie We’re digitized and occupied We live in terabyte times
