don't tell me lies that i despise
i can see right through your eyes
that in your head, Pandora's Box,
are what you think are simple thoughts
your cautious gaze belies your touch
your breath of love is just too much
cuz what you think is just for fun
will haunt my heart when you are

gone

can you see through my eyes too?
that when i say, "oh, I'm okay"
I speak to you through gritted teeth
a simple lie so i don't seem like
i am weak and that your songs
that carry me through all night long
are really killing me because
i know that someday soon this will be

gone

i guess it's time that i accept
the words that both of us have said
i won't linger; i'll admit
i'm just a number, even dead to you
and that's how you'll know me
and you, to me, a memory
that i'll recall just once or twice
when this is over and for good you're...

gone

Gone (original)

two incomplete originals w/ same key similar (?) content, so i just mashed em together

with my eyes shut tight
against the sun
i can only see the things that i've won
inside my mind and inside my heart
i've turned this blindness into an art

my ears are deaf to the sounds of the guns
and the crash of the war that we now run
but i've got something else, you see
not my sight, but my sanity

my mouth is closed to the words that kill
and phrases that say things just  for a thrill
but it doesn't matter because i know
that the best words unspoken make the heart grow

love is a community
but your apathy has left me without shelter
dirt is not a treasure
but your avarice has kept you wanting more

i don't want to let you take me down no

what your hands will make of me
isn't my choice by my soul is free
i won't let you treat me like another piece of meat
one day you are gonna see that the world ain't made for you or me
i won't let you treat me like another piece of meat

when you're born into this life
when you're born into your life
are we waiting to die?
while you're waiting to dine?

i don't want to let you take me down... no

Change Is Gonna Come (live cover)

I know you better than you think
i'll always be your second best
but what i wish i had from you
is to be better than the rest
i know that you have just one love
you know that she is my friend too
i asked you if you still loved her
and you told me, it wasn't true
and so i fell into the moon
i fell deep into like with you

i let my thoughts pass silently
but now they're taking over me

i'm not bitter, i'm not blind
in two months time
oh, i'll be fine
but for now it hurts to know
that your sweet kiss is just a show
if i could i'd ask you why
but this is it, we've had our time
i'll be fine

correct me now, you have two loves
the second one is just as close
again, i'm on the backburner
towards the front is your ego
you and he were meant to be
it's perfect, perfect symmetry
you and i a mismatched pair because you just belittle me
as for myself
i hope to find a love that's mine before i die

i  can't let these years pass in vain
i'll let myself fall deep again

i'm not bitter
i'm not blind
in two months time
oh, i'll be fine
but for now it hurts to know
that your sweet kiss is just a show
if i could i'd ask you why
but this is it we've had our time
i'll be fine

i'll be fine (original)

marley medley/turn your lights down low (bob marley-sublime cover, live)

as i travel down the coast
i think of things i love the most
the pillows that help rest my head
as my dreams put me to bed

a love, they say, a love that's lost
is best to have than none at all
and so i trudge through hills and valleys
count my blessings, i'll make my tally

as the light shines through the lens
i remember what's been done,
i remember what's been done
i think of you, and of the beach, in this picture of the sun

i walk through graves of soldiers gone
their lives lost for wars not won
i let the wind just push me over
in death's due time, keep my composure

a love, they say,
a love that's lost
is best to have than none at all
and so i trudge through hills and valleys
count my blessings, i'll make my tally

as the light shines through the lens
i remember what's been done
i remember what's been done
i think of you, and of the beach
in this picture of the sun

picture of the sun (original)

this one's normally performed with my friend, rus 


drag my feet out of bed
brush my teeth, brush my head
look in the mirror and what do i see?
i don't know you, oh... it's plain ol' me
put on my jeans, put on my sweater
hopin' that today is just a little bit better
cuz my days are whack, no plan of attack
sittin' like a joke of paper taped to my back

light one up
feel the beat
take a seat
press repeat
blank my mind; blank the time
i'll forget this life is mine

it's a dry heat. dry heat
everyday, all the day
summer time, summer nights
another dry heat on my week repeat
dry heat... dry heat
everyday, all the day
i don't wanna do anything today
so i'll let the burning sun take my mind away

live this life in a haze
circlin' round for days and days
look in the mirror and what do i see?
i can't see you cuz there's two of me
look for my friends; look for my fam
but it seems that there is no one who knows who i am
i'm a little bit lost, feelin kinda funny
i'm a little bit sad even though it's sunny

blank my mind... blank the time
i'll forget this life is mine
oh i'll just sit back
take a seat
light one up
and i'll press repeat

it's a dry heat dry heat
every day all the day
summer time, summer nights
another dry heat on my week repeat
dry heat, dry heat
everyday, all the day
i don't want to do anything today,
so i'll let the burning sun take my mind away...
