Lyrics:

WRITHING
By: Jose= Luis Diaz-5/20/2006-5:45pm-5:53pm
(intro)
Every time I try to be somebody,
You step in to deny who I want to be.
Every time I fly my wings feel strong,
But you scream at me telling me I=m wrong.
(V-1)
Love me, kill me if you have to. Shove me, under your rug.
Hate me, feed upon my flesh. Turn me, into what you hate.
(Chorus)
I=m writhing,,Yes this hurts. I=m writhing,,I guess what you do works.
I=m writhing,,Begging to die. Writhing,,Why why why why.
(V-2)
Hit me, Maybe I=ll hit back. Kick me, You=re the perfect high.
Break me, Into little pieces. Burn me, >Til I=m charcoal black.
(Intro-reprise)
Every time I try to be somebody,
You step in to deny who I want to be.
Every time I fly my wings feel strong,
But you scream at me telling me I=m wrong.
(Chorus-reprise)
I=m writhing,,Yes this hurts. I=m writhing,,I guess what you do works.
I=m writhing,,Begging to die. Writhing,,Why why why why.
(V-3)
Love me,,Shove me,,Hate me,,Turn me,,
Hit me,,Kick me,,Break me,,Burn me
(outro-chorus)
Writhing,,why why why why(repeat-fade)

Lyrics:

DEVOID OF,,,
By: Jose= Luis Diaz-8/6/2005-Provident City, TX-9:02am-9:29am
(V-1)
My tears have run dry, I=m all out of sighs
The closer you get, the less of me remains
My face is as stone, emotion=s long gone
Deep down here inside, I don=t feel pain
(Chorus-1)
In peace I exist, I=ve sewn up my own wrist
Devoid of the things that get me pissed
Emptiness--------h
(V-2)
Your day=s long as mine, I have no sense of time
You take up my hand, I know it feels cold
You=ve gotten your wish, did you expect this?
Your genie is gone, just like my soul
(Chorus-2)
In peace I exist, devoid of the slips
Lean close with your lips take your kiss(pause)
Emptiness

Lyrics:

PAWN TO HARMS WAY
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-10/20/2006-4:30pm-5:05pm-desk
(V-1)
Society, keeps me squeezed, tightly into my place
What’s right for you, is not for me, it’s all there is anyway
My grindstone,
Rolls wet with my blood,
Every day in my face
No rest for, my crumbling bones,
Until I’m down in the grave
The grip is tight, in this vise, caught in these metal teeth
No room to grow, though I know, my mind does hold a key
(Chorus-1)
Pawn, (-------------------H) To harms way (--------H)
King, (--------------------H) In his castle safe (----H)
He, (----------------------H) Takes the maiden
I, (-------------------------H) Take the blade
(V-2)
The scenery, threatens me, forcing me into play
My future holds, death for me, I’ll die without grace
My mind groans,
Regret’s all I’ve known,
How did I end up this way
My old bones,
Are all that I own,
I won’t let them take that away
(Chorus-1 here)
(V-3)
What’s right for me, they can’t see, I see it clear as day
Each day repeats, killing me, there’s no way to escape
(Chorus-1-plus)(, or lead here)
Pawn, (-------------------H) to harms way (--------H)
Pawn, (-------------------H) Stepped on everyday
Pawn, (-------------------H) Sad and lonely
Pawn, (-------------------H) No escape (-----------H)

Lyrics:

THIS HOLLOW SPACE BY: Jose= Diaz
(v-1)
There ain=t much left, here in my chest
This empty space, is the house of my unrest
She took so much, and she left a mess
But this piece is mine, I hope she chokes upon the rest
(v-2)
There ain=t much, left here in my life
I feel so lonely, even in a crowd
I=ve lost my best years, and I=ve cried my sweetest tears
My memory is wisdom, screaming out loud
(chorus)
This hollow space might echo with pain
But my fire burns like the sun
I=ve beat on the walls I=ve cried like the rain
My demons are all on the run
This hollow space might echo with pain
so little is left but I=m not ashamed

Of this hollow space that echoes with pain
This hollow space this hollow space
This hollow space that echoes with pain
I should be but I=m not insane

Cause this hollow space that echoes with pain
Is the place where I might love again
This hollow space that echoes with pain
This hollow space this hollow space

Lyrics:

CHASING THE SUNRISE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-11/15/2006-12:00
(V-1)
Tell me your story, where do you come from
How long has it been, can you catch the sun
Mind if I follow you, for just a spell
I won’t slow you down, so tell me your tale
(Interlude)
(V-2)
I come from the middle, of everywhere
I can’t remember, when I became aware
It’s alright to follow me, long as you may
You won’t slow me down, I’m sure of my pace
(Chorus)
Chasing the sunrise, sand in my eyes
Chasing the sunrise, sand in my eyes
(V-3)
Let’s tell our stories, where do we come from
Where are we going, (and) what is yet to come
Let’s get together, just for a spell
Share the same direction, long as all is well
(Chorus-2)
Chasing the sunrise------------------------H
(Back up vox)Sand in our eyes------------H
Chasing the sunrise------------------------H
Sand in our eyes------------H
(Lead here)
(Chorus outro)
Chasing the sunrise------------------------H
Sand in our eyes------------H
Chasing the sunrise
Not for a prize
Chasing the sunrise
Riding the tide
Chasing the sunrise
Sand in our eyes
(All vox)Chasing the sunrise----------------------------H

Lyrics:

INTO YOUR EYES
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7/7/2006-3:40pm-3:48pm-desk
(V-1)
I’m falling, into your eyes
I hope you, aren’t too surprised
I swim thru, those livid pools
Regardless, of physics rules

You’re looking, what do you see
I hope you, can see me
The tension, is off the scale
My senses, say all is well
(Chorus)
Some thing bends until it breaks
A hiccup catches time and space
The wax and wane of good intentions
My universe adds your dimensions
(V-2)
I’m dying, a trillion times
I’m breathing, a billion sighs
I’m twisting, a million ties
I’m flying, into your eyes
(V-3)
AH---------The throttle wide
AH---------Too far to glide
AH---------Stars explode
AH---------It’s overload
(V-1Here)

Lyrics:

ONLY ANGELS

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz- 7-3-2006-6:50am-10:00am-desk

(1)
How many sunsets can you ride into
How many heroes can save the day?
How many angels I guess it takes them all
Holding our hands as we make our way
They’re there when we fall
(2)
Feathers rustle in the back of our minds
We barely notice them any given time
We need to feel we have control
They’re always there steering our souls
But we choose our own roads
(3)
Remember when fate got in the way
Another painful tangle nothing could be saved
The memory like yesterdays don’t seem to fade
It split you open so your soul was on display
For all the world to see,
It brought you to your knees,
Like pulling healthy teeth,
You screamed at everything,
But only angels paid heed,
Only angels paid heed,
Only angels can see,,,,,

Lyrics:

I WANT YOU TO LAST
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7/20/2006-7:12am-7:20am-home
(V-1)
When you open your eyes,
All the stars fall inside,
And I can’t help but follow them in.

It’s a daydream I know,
But I like how it goes,
So I’ll dream it again and again.

Every time that you blink
Is a time when I think.
But it passes me by in a flash.
(Pre)
I can’t tell the future from past.
I stare cause I want you to last.
(V-2)
What’s left of our hearts,
Are enough little parts,
To make something whole once again.

Can you feel what I do?
Do you think it feels true?
Will you open and let my love in?
(Pre-here)-(V-1-here)-(Pre-here)-(lead out)

SOULS HISTORY
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-11/22/2006-3:20am-3:35am-Home
(I)
How many lives have you lived,
How many ways have you died,
How many days have you gazed thru the haze and realized the fool you’ve been played
(II)
How many stones mark your grave,
How many tombs have you made,
How many temples have risen and fell for beliefs that were held in the day
(III)
How many hearts did you break,
How many foes did you slay,
How many times did you drink of the vine did your cup overflow in the end
(IV)
How many screams did you hear,
How many things did you fear,
How many times did your eye turn inside have you ever shed a real tear

Lyrics:

NOTHING LEFT TO BLEED
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-10/25/2006-7:23am-8:09am-Charco, TX
(V-1)
You’re taking more, than I can give,
How do you expect, me to live.
I always give, more than my due,
My life is hell, thanks to you.
(Chorus)
You take too much from me--------H
My pain has set you free-------------H
I know you will never see--------------H
That I’ve nothing, left to bleed----H
(V-2)
You taught me well, how hate should be,
Today that’s all, you seem to bleed.
You told the world, we could be friends,
Two faced with a blade, and you’re twisting it again.
(Pre)
Push it, past the bone, that is all, you’ve ever shown.
The kids will soon be grown, and I, will carry on alone!
(Lead)
Can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see,
That I’ve nothing left to bleed
(Lead)
