Lyrics:

I’D RATHER DANCE THAN DIE (DREAM)

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-2-6-2010-4:20pm

(Loose Words)

There you are, here I am

Both alone, we understand

Here we go, this journey’s long

Let’s go, let’s move on

Here we are, two islands in a stream

Cupid hopes, we can share his dream

All I know, is that I

Would rather dance, I’d rather dance than die

(Actual lyric sheet)

(1)

There you are

Here I am

We’re both alone

We understand

(2)

Here we go

This journey is long

Let’s go

Let’s move on

(3)

Here we are

Two islands on a sea

And cupid hopes

We can share a dream

(4)

All I know

Is that I

Would rather dance

I’d rather dance than dream

DROWNING IN YOU

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-6-14-2010-11:30am-11:48am

(V-1)

I’m bouncing off the walls in my mind

You get me like this every time

I’m reaching out but I’m so blinded

I’ve got no chance

With my heart in your hands

(Pre)

Trying to breathe is all I can do

(Chorus-1)

I’m drowning in you-------H

(V-2)

I try to see but your light has me blinded

I try to think but I am reminded

I’m far away but you are so near (me) or (to me)

I go to pieces

Grinding my gears

(Pre)

Trying to breathe is all I can do

(Chorus-2)

I’m drowning in you

With everything I do

I’m drowning in you

It’s sad but it’s true

I’m drowning in you

I’m drowning in you

(Bridge)

Lyrics:

GINA THE ANGEL

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7-31-2009-6:05am-8:27PM

(V-1)

The angel hangs her wings, on the hat-rack by the door

She folds up her robe, and puts it neatly in a drawer

Her halo doesn’t glow as bright, it barely glows at all

It dangles on the corner, of a picture down the hall

She won’t wear those things, for me anymore

Yet to this day I’ve never seen, her feet touch the floor

(V-2)

I like finding feathers here, and finding feathers there

When she’s asleep I give them back, they melt into her hair

Her breathing’s always soft and sweet, like sugar into the air

And when she dreams I hear her speak, my name is always there

I’m afraid to fall, asleep anymore

To this day I’ve never seen, her feet touch the floor

(Chorus)

Hey, how far did you fall?  Say, how long will you stay?

Hey, please put on your wings. Say, you mean everything,

To me, everything, to me, the angel of my dreams, Hey,,,

(Lead here)

(V-3)

The angel hangs her wings, on the hat-rack by the door

She folds up her robe, and puts it neatly in a drawer

She won’t wear those things, for me anymore

Yet to this day I’ve never seen, her feet touch the floor

Hey----H

BURN THE MOONLIGHT

     By: JOSE LUIS DIAZ-3-18-2009-2:51PM-3:41PM

(Chorus)

I’ll give you every day that I have left

They won’t be much but they’ll be the best

And as the moments pass it’ll be alright

The end’s in sight we’ll burn the moonlight

(V-1)

Our bodies wither thru this winter

Our eyes may fail it’s just as well

Our souls burn bright with all our might

So we hold on our hearts are strong

(Pre)

From this day on I swear to you

(Chorus Here)

(V-2)

You----------------------H, are the one

Without your love I’d be undone

Here---------------------H, in my arms

I’ll keep you safe far from harm

(Pre Here)

(Bridge)

Each moment is new, I’ll be loving you

Here is my heart, this is the truth

(Chorus Here)

Lyrics:

TWINKELING

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-2-3-2010-6:35am-11:25am

(V-1)

The stars in the sky will always remind me

Of your twinkling eyes whenever they find me

They’re smooth on my heart like diamonds on velvet

I star in too deep and I just can’t help it

Wherever you go look up and you’ll know

My heart burns as bright as those twinkling lights

(V-2)

From far away and well past tomorrow

This way that I feel carries on

Each day begins and runs till it ends

Those stars twinkle on to the dawn

The past replays and it won’t fade away

The future will be here too soon

The stars in the sky will always remind me

Of your twinkling eyes whenever they find me

Wherever you go look up and you’ll know

My heart burns as bright as those twinkling lights

(Outro)

For you-------H

It’s true-----H

I only feel this for you

For you-----H

My heart burns as bright as those twinkling lights

Just for,

You----------H

SOMWHERE HERE INSIDE

         By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7-16-2007-3:08pm-3:19pm

(V-1)

The eyes stare at nothing, they blink twice each day

Tears overflow and then roll right away

The lips do not part, the breathing is slow,

The mind is alive but, the charts off the scale

There is no reaction to, our stimuli

But something is happening, we won’t deny

It’s not catatonic, nor coma or trance

Whatever this is, it’s out of our hands

(CHORUS)

I’m here, somewhere inside

No fear, at home in my mind

Look here, I’m safe and alone

My mind, has become my home

(V-2)

With no test results that, we can explain

There’s no way to test for discomfort or pain

We don’t even know, what keeps him alive

No atrophy happens, and that’s a surprise

(Chorus here)

(Chorus-2)

He’s there, somewhere inside

We fear, trapped in his mind

Look there, he’s all alone

His mind, is now his home

(LEAD OUT)

Lyrics:

SO FROM NOW ON

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-1-16-2010-3:45am-4:03am

(V-1)

I distilled you down to the words of this song

To prove to the world that you’re not so strong

It proves to me what I knew all along

This heart that you crushed will always be strong

(Chorus)

So from now on, you’d best be moving on

(V-2)

You’re the pull that choked me out in the end

I swallowed my pride as you threw the towel in

You proved to me what I knew all along

Your heart is just ice and you melt for no one

(But yourself)

(Chorus Here)

(Bridge)

You drowned me in fake tears for way too many years

You used me and that’s all you did

You wasted my best years

I was a self made man

Thanks to you I still am

(Chorus Here)

(Lead)

(V-1-Stanza-1)

(Chorus Here)

THE END OF THE RIDE

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-1-6-2010-9:05am-9:19am

(1)

Just past the sunset you come to a stop

Think back on the journey what you are what you’re not

You see the debris you left in your wake

You rev that old engine as you stand on the brake

(Lead)

(Chorus)

You sigh out your mind, relinquish your pride

You leap for the light, at the end of the ride

(Lead)

(2)

Time was the bandit your heart was the loot

Beaten and battered you always came thru

Now heavy eyelids your wrinkling brow

Time to pull over the tank has run out

(Lead)

(Chorus Here)

(Outro)

You leap for the light, at the end of the ride (3X)

(Lead out)

ITS RAINING BROKEN HEARTS

By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-7-25-2010-8:00am-8-24-2010-12:06

(Chorus)

We sailed into the summer sky

Then the clouds got angry, at you and I

It started slow in little parts

Now it’s raining-----H

Broken hearts

(V-1)

It was war, to get to the top of that mountain

We carried our flag thru the clouds

When we won we gained so much respect

It showed the world us at our best

(V-2)

Love is strong emotion that flows form a fountain

From a well that never runs dry

But beware, once tainted the stain will remain

One heart might believe, but one will deny

(Bridge)

Love is a rush, that’s never enough

Love is a high, you’ll never let die

Love is a stone, breaking of bones

Love is too much, and never enough

(Lead)

(Chorus Here)

(Lead out)

Lyrics:

TIME FOR ME TO GO

    By: Jose’ Diaz-4-20-2009-8:38pm-9:01pm

(I)

I took the time, to leave it all behind

I took a breath, and held it as a test

I let it go, now finally I know

(Chorus-I)

Why the fire glows

Where the river flows

It’s time for me to go

(II)

I turned around, to see what I had found

I realized, I push so much aside

From where I’m at, I know I can’t go back

(Chorus-II)

The fire glows

The river flows

It’s time for me to go

(Bridge)

The walls caved in, again and again

I burned all the candles, at both ends

Now I know--------------------------------H!

(Chorus-I here)
