Piece 1: Cover of Reinaeiry's
"It's You, It's Me, It's Us"
Lyrics
Between your name and a prayer
Is there a difference? Does it matter?
The stars in the sky can never compare
Because my whole world is the girl over there
​
You're a light house, calling me home
And I'm sailing the waves that will crash on the stone
"You're getting closer" I hear you say
But the tides pull me away
​
Oh
And I call out to the weather
Water rushing in my lungs
Send me a thunderbolt
Gods up above
End my own agony
Delivered from love
Hold my head underwater
A final gift to last
It's you, it's me, it's us
​
Oh-oh-oh hmm hmm hmm
​
I've been feeling pieces of myself
Slowly drift away
Reflections caught in mirrors remind me everyday
I shatter in your embrace
'Cause I feel her hold and her voice and her face
"I'll wait forever" I hear you say
As the tides drag me away
(Away, away, away, away)
​
And I call out to the weather
Water rushing in my lungs
Send me a lullaby
Gods up above
End my own agony
Delivered from love
Hold my head underwater
A final gift to last
It's you, it's me, it's us
It's you, it's me, it's us

Piece 2: Cover of King Princess' "Cursed"
Lyrics
We can say hello
It's good to know that you don't carry hate
Like bricks inside your coat
Well it had to end
​
But endings lead to better things
Like sleeping again
Oh, 'cause it's a curse to be your friend
​
Yeah and it's a curse to be alone
(You left me out here in the rain)
I miss you more the more I grow
(I love you so you cause me pain)
Oh, it's a curse to be your friend
​
Oh, you look the same
Did you stop smoking weed?
Or trying to please your dad?
He's not thinking about your pain
Oh, it had to end
But endings lead to better things
Like feeling again
Oh, it's a curse to be your friend
​
Yeah and it's a curse to be alone
(You left me out here in the rain)
I miss you more the more I grow
(I love you so you cause me pain)
Oh, it's a curse to be your friend
​
Maybe when the earth starts to melt
We don't have to choose violence
And maybe when it all goes to hell
We can be
Maybe when the earth starts to melt
We don't have to choose violence
And maybe when it all goes to hell
We can be
​
Oh, it's a curse to be your friend
(I love you so you cause me pain)
And it's a curse to be alone
(You left me out here in the rain)
I miss you more the more I grow
(I love you so you cause me pain)
Oh it's a curse to be your friend
​
Baby, maybe we could be even now (ooh-ooh)
(I love you so you cause me pain)
Oh, we could be even now (ooh-ooh)
(You left me out here in the rain)
Oh, baby, maybe we could be even now (ooh-ooh)
(I love you so you cause me pain)
