NOTHING LEFT TO SAY(TO YOU)
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz -7/01/2005-9:36am-Speaks,TX
(V-1)
I bend in the wind, for you
Still you just can’t wait for me to break.
I’ve stated my case, to you
And yet I must repeat myself, repeat myself, anew.

I’m out of amends, for you
I’ve put them in your mind so many times.
I’m selling my soul, for you
You won’t see what it means to me, you make me feel so used.
(Chorus)
When I woke up today, I tried to find good words to say.
But all I found was spellbound in dismay.
There’s nothing left to say, to you.
(V-2)
Is silence a pain, to you
I’ve got no words to soothe and that’s the truth.
It’s pointless to talk, with you
Cause what I say gets thrown away, on any given day.
(Chorus-2)
When I woke up today, I tried to find good words to say.
But all I found was spellbound in dismay.
There’s nothing left to say, to you
There’s nothing left to say-----------------H
There’s nothing left to say, to you
There’s nothing left to say-----------------H
There’s nothing left to say, to you
There’s nothing left to say-----------------H
There’s nothing left to say, to you----------------H

WATCH ME BREAK
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-8/23/2005-12:40pm-12:58pm-Rio Grande City, TX
(Intro-Chorus)
Walk away, save yourself, just get clear, and save yourself
You were too good, at pushing me away
Now you want to linger, to watch me break
(V-1)
You took from me, I took from you
Young and foolish, nothing else to do
‘Til death do us part, yeah, that was real smart
We played it well, Bacall and Bogart
My big shot job, my big fat raise
You spent it all, so many ways
You drove me mad, those last long days
You drove my heart, into the grave
(Chorus here)
(V-2)
Such an item, in high school halls
Such a distance, we had to fall
Long years gone, wasted away
Not worth memories, just erase
My loud guitars, my big-time band
We had a dream, within our hands
We had no plan, to become stars
Now all I’ve left, are mu guitars
(Chorus music with lead here)
(Chorus here 2X)

DAMAGING DAWN(RUN FROM THE SUN)
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-8/6/2005-Provident City, TX-1:13pm-1:23pm
(V-1)
We rule the night, we see without light
Consumed by the need, to feed
Blood is the wine, we need all the time
We roam on our feet, and wing
(Chorus)
But we run on, from a damaging dawn
We cannot let it touch our skin, and so we run
We run on, we run on
Yeah we run, from the sun-----------------------h
(V-2)
We have to bite, and drain out the life
Sustained by blood, that’s warm
And if we bite, without taking life
We add to the ranks of, our kind
(chorus-2)
And we run on, from a damaging dawn
We cannot let it touch our skin, and so we run
We run on, we run on
Yeah we run, from the sun-----------------------h
(V-3)8/6/20052-8:21pm-home
We can taste you by your heartbeat, we can taste your fear
You can run and try to hide, to us your always near
If we like you we might try to, keep you around
But we’ll decide on what we’ll do, as our teeth sink down
(Chorus-3)
We run on, from a damaging dawn
We cannot let it touch our skin, so we run on
We run on, we run on
We run, from the sun, from the sun-----h

WAKE UP SNAKE EYES
CUPID’S BEEN LYIN’ TO YOU
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12/29/2005-12:37am-at home
(V-1)
Wake up, shake your head
Look both ways or you’ll wind up dead
Latch on, to a cold heart
Hold on tight or be torn apart
Reach out, but close your fist
Don’t be caught dreamin’ things are better than this
(Chorus)
Snake eyes, cupids’ been lyin’, you were really tryin’
Throw it in with things the world keeps deneyin’ you
(V-2)
Wait up, for your friends
They went away they’ll be back again
Push off, all your enemies
They only hang around to slow you down
Give in, to yourself
You’ve lived too long to be anybody else
(pre)
Breathe out, then breathe in
The world will try to force you ta’ blend in
(chorus)(2x?)
Snake eyes, cupids’ been lyin’ , you were really tryin’
Throw it in with things the world keeps deneyin you
(outro)
You know what I mean the world’s been deneyin you----H
Pretend is just a wall that’s always gonna fall
Snake eyes, cupid’s—H been lyin—H to you—H
Cupid’s—H been lyin—H to you—H(repeat out)

MENTAL IGNITION
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-9:45am-Weesatche,TX
(V-1)
Calculating, one hundred steps ahead
Contemplating, what you might do instead
Nailing the logic down, the barriers fall all around
Instigating, the thoughts of weaker minds
Experts left far behind, confounded every time
(Chorus)
The perfect solution is his contribution
His brain is conditioned you’ll learn if you listen
Watch him explode with the truth
Mental ignition
(V-2)
Generating, answers before you ask
Venerating, great minds of his past
Prove his hypothesis sound, knowledge without any bounds
Eviscerating, any mind trying to contend
Knowledge so vast it’s a crime, all for the good of mankind
(Chorus here)
(V-3)(change-up)
Not many friends back in school
Had to pretend to be cool
Learned early on to be wise
But who knows what he keeps inside!
(Lead)
(Chorus here)
(Outro)
Mental ignition(repeat)

LET ME FLY
By: Jose= Luis Diaz-3/10/2006-1:18-1:27pm
(V1)
Rip me from my dream,
The morning hits me just like a scream.
Shove me right out the door,
Straight in the face to my daily chore.
Lock me into my place,
The loop repeats itself at breakneck-pace.
(V2)
Tonight if I sleep,
I hope I dream, in there is peace.
Feels good those fancy flights,
With priceless rewards, for every fight.
Tempting never to awake,
If dreams could last forever, that=s where I=d stay.
(Pre)
I=m half in the future, I=m half in the past
The present just burns me, I=m going nowhere fast
(Chorus)
Fly me, away from here
Along with some one I want to be near
Fly me, across the sky
Into a sunrise that never dies
Let me fly------------------------H
(V3)
They wake me, they take me away
They put me to the grindstone every day
They shake me, until I break
They grind up the pieces >til I=m re-made(just paste)
They rake me, thru the coals
I feed their engines as I grow old
My wings, fold for now
But when the time is right I=ll break them out!
(Pre-here)
(Chorus Here)
(Lead out)

PARALYZED
By: Jose= Luis Diaz-5-15-2006-at home-10:00pm-10:27pm
(V-1)
I can=t move. I=m trapped right here inside.
The world pours in, through my ears and eyes.

You stroll in, with every mornings light.
You lean in close, every time I cry.

Wipe my tears. You shush away my fears.
Your eyes look in. Do you know I=m here?
(CHORUS)
Would you fly away with me? To someplace in my mind.
That=s somewhat hard to find. Where everything is fine.
All the time.

Would you stay there with me? Remaining at my side.
We=d play chase with the tides. And watch the stars go by.
Every night.
(V-2)
Every night. You turn out the light.
My mind takes flight. Deep inside.

Where I go. You are welcome there.
But you will never know. You will never go.

This place inside. Where nothing real resides.
I walk in healthy stride. Nothing ever dies!
(CHORUS HERE)
(OUTRE)
Will you fly away with me? Though it can never be.
I can never speak. I only hear and see.

Will you fly away with me?(repeat 4X)

LEAN INTO THE WIND
By: Jose= Luis Diaz-6/20/2006-9:10am-10:20am-4R!t@
(intro)
Your smile pulls the sun across the sky
One look in your eyes and I can fly
And deep down there inside
I know a piece of heart survives
So I whisper answers to your every question why-------H
(V-1)
A thousand ships went sailing
On emotions un-prevailing
And the damages incurred
Couldn=t be repaired with words
This time
(V-2)
With a smile she melts my heart
Look in her eyes and fall apart
Pray I=ll always find the words
That I want to say to her
This time
(chorus)
So it begins, Simple friends
Once again, Lean into the wind
(short lead here)
(V-3)
Where the walls crumble down
We cast seeds upon the ground
Broken hearts are all we=ve found
Caught in tides that know no bounds
We=re found
(Chorus here)
(outro)
Lean into the wind, Lean into the wind,
Don=t you ever hold it in, Lean into the wind!

WHEN LOVE BURNS DOWN
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-10/13/2005-10:50am-Talk Ranch Road word arrangement-Alfred Diaz
(V-1)
It hurts worse than dyin
Your eyes swell shut from cryin
And your memory burns deep with the pain

It happens while your flyin
You fall but you keep tryin
And you have to ask yourself if you’re still sane

All those dreams up in flames
Still the embers will remain
And the scars will decorate your soul
(Chorus)
You’re set on by the hounds
You’re gagged and you’re bound
No words can describe how you feel
When love burns down
(V-2)
All your screams are in vain
Whimpers drown in the pain
Deep inside everything grows cold
(Chorus Here)
(Chorus-2)
Is that how it feels, When angels hit the ground
You lose all control, When love burns down

HM REARS IT’S UGLY HEAD AGAIN
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-10/27/2005-11:20am-11:30am-002stsVictoria
(I)
Well it comes from the middle of everywhere
You can see it in the eyes, you can smell it in the air
Your hair stands on end, let the fun begin
Heavy -Metal rears it’s ugly head again
(stampede section)
(II)
From the unknown towns to the big city sprawl
The ground begins to shake, as the leviathan crawls
It’s coming on strong, like a lifelong friend
As the Metal rears it’s ugly head again
(lead/lead harmony section)
(III)
It can never really die it’s a master of disguise
At home in a suite and tie(“barbed wire necktie!”)
Though we live and die it will survive
None can hold it’s fury at bay(lead fill)
It’s part of us all forever standing tall
Where all else ends it begins
(YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Heavy-Metal rears it’s ugly head again
(Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!)Heavy-Metal, Heavy-Metal, Heavy-Metal, Heavy-Metal,(repeat out [march style])

GOOD TO BE WITHOUT YOU
by: Jose’ Luis Diaz-12/05/2005-Edna, TX-1:06pm

(V-1)
I almost sold my soul for you
But you threw me away
It took me quite a long time
But I’m back up on my way
There’s a beautiful woman
In this home I still own
The future’s getting brighter
I feel like I belong
(Chorus-1)
I’m living a life, I never knew with you
I wake up every morning, and smile into my boots
Never thought I’d feel so good
To be without you
(V-2)
I thank the lord above
Least I try to everyday
Nobody’s perfect
No matter what they say
(Chorus-2)
I’m living a lifestyle, I never had with you
I wake up every morning, and smile into my boots
Never thought I’d feel so good
To be without you
