North South East and West                         By: Howie Askay

Light a little fire, in the wind

See it blow out then you can light it once again

Dream a little lie, then learn to fly

Your intentions were to keep you through the night

Rain once again, The sun is her to light the stars above

Walk through your life, with your head held high

Start to grab the love, grab up all the love

Draw a little line in the sand

You can wash your feet off up on dry land

Give a little smile now and then

To bring some hope and light to a new friend

Wake from what you have found

And scream with me throughout my rotten grounds

See for those who are blind

Trace a path for them with an open mind

Show them the way there

Press rewind and sing this song again.... X2

(Bridge) Light the fire before the end..... You say it, you’ll say it 

Give desire to a friend..... You’ll say it, you say it again

Speak for those who feel small

And Trace a path with directions on the wall

Waiting for my trip on down that road

Not Afraid to find out where it might go

(Chorus) Where I go, I don’t want to stand here all alone

Where l go, The little fire with-in will start to show

Where I go, I’ll watch the sand when the wind starts to blow

Where l go, Today I’ll take that trip on down the road... 

Right on down the

Light a little fire, in the wind

See it blow out then you can light it once again, light it once again

Shadow Puppets & My Little Baboon               By: Howie Askay

- Close the door and turn out the lights

Then I can wait for the moon to shine real bright

Playing with the shadows on the wall

It was a shape of a bird that made my mind recall

In a moment realized

That they take you to a place where you can stay all night

So many shapes, so many stories disguised

- Well I’ll knock on the door of that old house

That place I used to live how much it’s all changed now

Look in to see my little room

How those dreams seemed so big, how fast it all seemed so soon

I wanted and thought I’d see so much more

Than just a man who doesn’t know what he’s searching for

So many roads, I just need to walk out that door

(Chorus) I imagined looking through the window to see myself

Standing with my Hula Doll

I see four kids who will take on the word

And break a path for us all

- This nightmare ends here tonight

I need to buckle down to get things right

She’s out there somewhere all alone

I have to find her and I’ll bring her on home

Will she want to settle down

And believe in a dream that comes from sleepy towns

So many thought, so many corners to round                        (Chorus)      Solo

- I found her in this little room

Full of fight, not ready to start to soon

When the walls come falling down

She’ll be my battle soldier, I’d be her silly clown

On and on we’d make a life

Three handsome sons and a daughter who wins all fights

So many moments, so much love for my life            (Chorus)      Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo’s

- Please bless this day and say goodnight

But before I sleep I will see through the light

Of another crescent moon

Playing with the shadow puppets and my little baboon

She cuttles up and holds me tight

She said remember that vision without you and I

Life is strange, but I’m glad it’s you and I

Digging Through The Cereal Box                           By: Howie Askay

Once in a lifetime you can finally stop the clock

So take a moment and reflect on what it takes to wake you up

Bend your head, you might just miss that 

Cupboard door and rest a nerve

A lifetimes used to last until you made the gate

So open the door and then you find out that it might just be to late

To make amends you hold it in to find out

You were all wrong

(Chorus) Searching through a moment, I find a simple thought

Digging for the prize with my hands all dirty and sticky

In the bottom of the cereal box

Back to back we try and look for something new

And reminisce that feeling you get before you found out that you grew

That early morning Christmas gift was all I needed

To feel alive

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Wait a minute I totally forgot

Playing with my dad in the rain until we got caught

Mom says come in boys before you catch cold

Shake and light your soul and burn it to the ground 

Every hour is a stage that you can use what you have found

A piece of pie is just one of eight and now and then

You can save them all

(Chorus)

BREATH IN                               BY: HOWIE ASKAY

Some laugh at fear while their backs are against the wall

Some laugh at pain and some would rather take the fall

Some cry at night when there is no one else around

Some wave and smile when they should have worn a frown

(Bridge) They have long days and they hide away

From their feelings from the emptiness

It’s so calming when they realize

That they’re not alone and that we’re by their side

(CHORUS) If your feeling buried just breath in

Take a step in the light and look down

With the place your heading in sight

Where the world wants to see you around

Some might have broken a Childs lullaby

Some lift them up and they give them wings to fly

Some break their backs to give them all they don’t really need

Some have it all without nothing good left to greed

(Bridge) If you stand back and we watch them

With their reasons reaching for something high

They fall from glory and put life on a shelf

And become a slave to pretend their someone else

(CHORUS) If your feeling buried just breath in

Take a step in the light and look down

With the place your heading in sight

Where the world wants to see you around

Places amaze me when I see all the faces and the child that looks in my eyes

Like when the goslings start crawling under leaves that are falling

Start to blow all their troubles around

Light up their eyes and let them see a world that is small

I,I,I,I want to see a friend in you all

You’ll see someone jump and leaving the ground

You’ll hear children laugh and playing around

You’ll smell and taste some kind of flavor you’ve found

You’ll feel your worlds weight is less then a pound

Now take all that you found and learn to spread it, learn to spread it around

 Hardened Life       Howie Askay, Dave Whitmore, Ronnie Gilmore, Ryan Reid           

As I lay you to sleep

Well it steals my chance to speak

Never came so quickly

The flesh becomes so weak

I’ll never, see inside

This hardened life took its tole on your mind

(Bridge) Why didn’t you just leave, just quit, just run away

One night could have brought you to another day

(Chorus) This hardened life has been spent

And all the things I can’t forget I’m drowning

In all of the chances that were lost

You confused me my whole life

Your smiles were so rare

I doesn’t seem enough the two times you were there

But I believed you’d come around

Letting go of what was found

If just to say your sorry but I never heard a sound

(Bridge) Why didn’t you just leave, just quit, just run away

One night could have brought you to another day

(Chorus) This hardened life has been spent

And all the things I can’t forget I’m drowning

In all of the chances that were lost

(Outro-Chorus) If there’s another life that’s left

It’s just another closed off wreck, how can I

feel so cheated when you were so the cause

This Life That’s Mine X4

(Bridge) Why didn’t you just leave, just quit, just run away

One night could have brought you to another day

(Chorus) This hardened life has been spent

And all the things I can’t forget I’m drowning

In all of the chances that were lost

(Outro-Chorus) If there’s another love that’s left

It’s just another closed off wreck how can I

feel so cheated when you were so the cause

(Chorus) This hardened life has been spent

And all the things I can’t forget I’m drowning

In all of the chances that were lost

Waiting For The Moment        By Howie Askay and Gauta Ioane

I was lost I was found then lost again, don’t know what went wrong

I’ve hit rock bottom then hit the end, feels like I can’t go on

The pain that you put me through it stands with me here today

Echos of yourself and who I knew, Shallow empty drops of rain

I can’t take it anymore, The tears scream without pain

I really tried to explain, it only drove you away

Not a single fireman could ever break down your door

It’s time for me to rise and hold onto what’s in-store 

(Chorus) I’m tiered of life, I’m tiered of love when I’m with you

I need to walk, I need to run to somewhere new

Waiting for my moment, to break free

A chance at life and be me

Bury me in a shallow grave so I can feel the sun

You stand and shadow me, I really thought you were done

Vultures fly overhead to dig me up again

That’s when I knew it was the end, we’re were better off as friends

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Now a lifetime has passed, yes and I’m doing fine

Take no more blame, cause it was always yours and mine

(Chorus)

THE GORGE                                      By: Howie Askay

Take time to disappear, Life’s calling 

Red skies and a half moons tear, I’m stalling

I’m heading home, But not on my own

Cliff walls and white capped waves, I’m falling

Lost voice on wind swept days, Keep calling

I need to roam, Not on my own

Through the Gorge I find, Everything a sign

Whisper softly so you can fill your mind

Don’t erase that photograph, I want it

It makes me feel like I’m cut in half, It’s fantastic

I see my home, But not on my own

Through this life I find, Everything a sign

Whisper softly so you can fill your mind

Raise your fins and settle down, Start spawning

A captured mood tied to a speechless clown, you haunt me

How you have grown, But not on your own

I need to roam, But not on my own

We found our home, Were not on our own

Were going home

King Of The Mountain                  By: Howie Askay

SometimesI want to go back

To the place I was before

To all my friends I had before

But that king of the mountain has grown old

I left you, you left me

Sometimes that’s how it has to be

Fatal friendships that’s all I see

How lives change, made to break, floating off to see

I know someday I’ll be home again

I know someday that wall will wash away

And all my friends will come and play, someday

City Lights               Ronnie Gilmore, Howie Askay

Sleepless nights and endless days

Tell me I don’t have to change

Give me the chance to prove to you

Looking forward through the time

You could always change your mind

Give me something to hold on to

(Chorus) Come with me tonight

Come with me tonight

I’ll take you on a little ride

Outside the city lights

Living for dreams, no reality

Some say it’s selfish, how can that be

The closer I come, the further they will see

Hold on to the truth

There will be no more lies

Together we will get there on our own

Chorus

PASS IT ON                     By: Howie Askay 

Get along that is all I want to say

Take a step and you put your pride away

Brand new day is upon with every passing dawn

Hand in hand we just have to pass it on

LEAVING NOVEMBER BEHIND             BY: Howie Askay

Looking at you to show us

Staring at the worlds on the ground

Pick one up to take us

To a place where nothing is found

It’s a simple mistake

To take for granted all I can make

Hold you close and hold you near

Until the end I will be standing here

Chorus:

On and on I can make

A promise that I just won’t break

Hold you close and hold you near

Until the end I will be standing here

Forever I’ll be holding on

To the memories of days gone long

I’m proud to say your here with me

There is no life I’d rather be

Chorus:

Little bit of life that caries on

Can take us farther into where we belong

What amazement that I see

It’s just a simple taste of how life can be

Chorus:

Not Afraid                                        By: Howie askay

I guess I’ve had a long day

Now I’m driving home

I pass an old face

His body’s looking old

I dare to wonder where is, or what he’s looking on

Should I stop and say hello

If I ask would you think he’d let me know

Just everything he knows

So I passed right by him

Looked to turn around

His body’s shaking

As he hits the ground

People passing without a glanceI Gu

Like he’s invisible

I take his hand and peer within

I see my eyes reflecting from his face

I’m not afraid

I try and take his hand he pulls away, pulls away

He tells me just to let him go away

Don’t let you get this way

You need to change your place

Now he’s disappearing 

His body turns to ash

I see a flower

As it smiles back

I hop back in my car

And head on home

On the way the stairway shines

I see myself at the top and wave hello, As I go on home

As a new day begins to sound

I stay in bed

Deciding from what I know

Should I stay or should we meet again

I stayed in bed

I guess I’ve had a long day

If I Wonder                               By: Howie Askay

It was the best year that I ever had

And if I wonder why jelly beans make me mad

I tried to keep stuff in and shut my mouth

Why do you talk so loud, like I ever had no doubt

(Chorus) And life keeps me this way

And cold water it turns grey

Picked up a daisy and plucked a peddle of fate

As the dirt touches my lips the sun sets so late

I saw a squirrel smashed in the road, if I wonder what he saw

I think he thought to long or perhaps maybe not

(Chorus) And life keeps us this way

And cold water well it turns grey, it turns grey

(Bridge) IF I WONDER, SILT SUNBEAMS, QUICK RIVER, PHOENIX’S LAST DREAM

Webbed surface, let it lie

Ribbon moons, come and fly

I wonder, yes I do

Silt sunbeams, warm to sooth

Quick River, such a blow

Phoenix dream, did he know, did he know, 

did he know,,,, I don’t think so

when we get to the end I’ll be standing in fall

If I wonder what it was about, it was a moment for us all

(Chorus) And life keeps us this way

And cold water it turns grey

Nah, Nah

Mr Humphrey                    By: Howie Askay

Hey Mr. Humphrey, you sit there with your eyes of shame

Staring down at the world with no one to hold you before you go

Could you ever guess the darkest secrets that lay in his head

Rumors of a broken man who lives staring through his window

No one believes me but I think there’s something more to you

Crowds of people stop and stare, why don’t you just look away

Hey Mr. Humphrey, if I rang would you let me in

Or would you turn your cheek to me or keep me knocking all day

(Chorus) Please go away, I can’t give you anything

I live alone, there’s nothing here for you

My family, why did they all turn away

I wish I pray, that someone could have helped him

Hey Mr. Humphrey there’s some things that I want to say to you

Poor man or rich man, I don’t care it’s all the same

Life has some turns you’ll ride a corner to find a blind end

Pick a bad path one day and then your staring through his window

Dear sir I thank you, but what you said I’ve heard before

Take it from this old man, my life has all but died away

When you see my window, think of my son who fell from it

Now won’t you just let me be I’ve got to watch the children play

(Chorus)

My mind is gone, I can feel numb, I am gone

I seen him fall into the sky, He played with birds right before my eyes had time

I tried to grab his only hand, Now I must face a lifetime of a life I can’t stand

There’s no peace, there’s no shame     ———      Please just go away

I Take My Time                         By: Howie Askay

I take my time, day by day

The night grows cold and my evening slips away

Don’t fall pray, cause Tuesdays on

I wish I could run far fast, twenty years have gone

(Chorus) It’s time to take a ride

Hi take it slow

How can you feel what I know

Watch which way I go

Many love to fast, you’ve got to let it grow

Some die to young, I’ll live to old

Yesterdays here, tomorrow could be gone

Set your sights, don’t feel for fear 

(Chorus)

I Take My Time Feeling free

Walking slow

Just watch me

Which way I go

Golden Rule                            By: Howie Askay

I remember just the other day, When you said your man has gone away

Even though you treated him just like a king

You seemed to have followed every rule, Showed him love through your hearts endless pool

And in return he would just keep you on a string

He gave you hope that he can change, So you pushed passed trust and rearranged 

Your life so you can fit between his stars

(Chorus) Is this life’s golden rule

To sit until your called upon, it seems so very cruel

Does she know, well that I

Would carry her across the sky, so she could finally fly

All the things I should have had the guts to say, Well that was yesterday

Well I called her on a Saturday, I said would you like to be a castaway

On a trip that would leave you lost with a friend

She said, my heart nearly skipped a beat, So I swept her up off her feet

And begin to lead her heart along the way

She took a step back and looked at me, And said maybe we should let this be

We’re far to close to the sun to fly away

Chorus) Is this life’s golden rule

To sit until we’re called upon, well it seems so very cruel

Does she know, well that I

Would carry her across the sky, so she could finally fly

All the things I should have had the guts to say, Well that was yesterday

(Bridge) Two weeks have gone when she shows up to my door

Said she has made a big mistake

let’s take that walk through life and peer above a star

Will sit right down, right where we are

Now I woke up next to her in bed, I remember that one thing she said

As she left to take the kids on off to school

She drops them off and begins to stride, But on the corner a truck begins to slide

And lands itself on her she won’t survive

All the things that I didn’t say cause I thought there’d be another day

Now I’m sitting here lost until I’m called upon

Chorus) Is this life’s golden rule

To sit until we’re called upon, well it seems so very cruel

Does she know, well that I

Would carry her across the sky, so she could finally fly

All the things I should have had the guts to say, Well that was yesterday

All the things I thought I had the time to say, goodby to yesterday

A CHILD NEVER DIES                               By: Howie Askay

Through endless years and empty seasons

The time still. Passes by

Yet the friendship that I found in you

I’m sure will never die

The memories my heart’s still keeping

The teardrops in your eyes

Reminds me of our days of youth

The time we left behind

(Chorus) The warmth you always gave me

A companion by my side

On the day our paths were one no more

A man broke down and cried

The days of old, the days of passion

And youth we kept alive

Are fading to a silent end

It makes me realize

At times I thought I’d find you

In a futile wishful dream

But you were nowhere to be seen

With shattered dreams and a broken promise 

I can’t start love anew

And since this pain won’t heal with time

I’m waiting here for you

(Chorus)       A child never dies

The Distance                         Paul Watts, Howie Askay

If it weren’t for the distance

I get out of here

My problems non existent 

My problems never fear

 (Chorus) I get lost in these comfort zones

Only place I wanna be

Forget all my worthy sides

Well I forget how to see

If you look at me and wonder

Wonder who I am

Think of me now

Or think of me then

Why did you have to leave me

Leave me so alone

You said you’d be back real soon

Now I’m all alone

Chorus

Left Field                              By: Howie Askay

Poor a little bit of salt in that wound and move on

What if pepper tasted as sweet as it sounds

Maybe money filled your pockets better than me

You lacked a bit of flavor it’s all over town

(Bridge) And I, I can move on

Knowing it hurt you when I closed the door

I’m gone forever, you can’t hurt me no more

Hears a little bit of thought that I had before you

I thought this life would be so very kind

Monsters weren’t a part of this kids lonely dreams

When I met you all the clocks would start to unwind

(Bridge)

(Chorus) I know I’ve made mistakes

But I’ve educated and I’m moving on

This time I’m going where I can belong

I passed a little diner on the East end of town

In the window I seen you sitting with your brand new guy

His eyes were already fading away

It’s so disgusting how you treat all of everyone else

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

EMPTY WATER                             By: Howie Askay

Trickle down empty water

Spitting out from my glass

Your staining my carpet

You intended to quench me last

Bay Bay I hoped you would push me and help me get out of my way

From hear I will start to imagine, things I've always wanted to say

(Chorus) And if you say what you want to

Say what you mean

Say all that needs to be said

When your with me

Bay Bay let’s go out driving

Let’s start to do what we like

Painting our eyes with the visions

Of everything we see here tonight

Somethings been trying to find me

It’s been in my thoughts for a while

The thought of you crossing your fingers

You laughed and you started to smile

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Our true passion, it’s carved in stone

Life, love and laughter, without being shown

Bay Bay I wanted to show you

The song I have been working on

They’re mostly of not that much value

Unless you think I am wrong

You can stop by and visit while I am writing 

I can tell there are thoughts on your mind 

Anytime I can take frustration from you

At least another day will slip by         (Chorus)    -     (Bridge)

I love you, you love me

Nothing is unknown

Tell me all you need from me

Standing on our own

Faceless               By: Zane Whitmore

I’ll try this once again

To get to you my friend

Just let the hate go, feeling straight

So this life can start to mend

It presses down so hard

It seems you’ve gone to far

But I just can’t see this pit inside me

But if I don’t I’ll never start.   Will I ever start

In all my life I’ve known

It’ll never be my own

This faceless soul aches for more than it takes

The time that has been flown

This place is always cold

This numbness is so old

This fire ignites, and takes up all my will to keep control 

Do I want to keep control

It’s faceless

But it burns the same

The sickness seems to infect all I do

And I still don’t know its name

I know it’s hard for you

And I have been there to

If you don’t you’ll drown in a sky that’s never blue

In this place I believe

That world is not for me

With heart in mind

In fact I try to find my way

Back to the place I’ve yet to be

Hide And Seek                                 By: Howie Askay

I’ve had a little time to walk around and clear my head

It’s just confusing when I’ve heard the real sound of you instead

It’s just a fake one, it’s just a plight

It’s just a bad time to say wrong or right

There’s nothing present, to say what’s for real

So take out this garbage, that can’t make you feel

(Chorus) Hide and seek was not found yesterday, I play

Disguising what it is that you can’t play, all day

Do you remember when inspiration blew out your mind

Or when a prodigy would forever take over a time

The were amazing, they were precise

To witness perfection and all sacrifice

Now nothings present and nothings for real

So take out this garbage and keep all with feel

(Chorus)

Now musics buried, it’s all camouflaged

Smuggling samples from a list of your frauds

Ten thousand hours will never be learned

Now their just waiting for that chair to turn

(Chorus)

My ears bleed

You’ve let us down

SISTER                                  By: Howie Askay

You called, I’m the wrong number

You post, all your hate and blunder

Your blind, to all they stated

She’s not mine, cause all your hatred

(Chorus) As we passed along the way’

Hand in hand fighting for a day

Now you lost us, I’m hoping you will find

Something that is kind for all

I’m kind, and for all others

I share, a book of many colors

Progress, to a world of equals

Unite, to a life of sequels

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Fear to fear all rejection

Lose to lose ones perfections

Fake to fake your impressions

Accept to accept our connections

Wake up, Join the people

Fess up, And join the people

Your stuck, Join the people

Choose love, And join the people

Begging You For More                      BY: Howie Askay

Knock on my door 

There’s something to say

Please give me what’s real

I need you to stay

(Chorus) Take my hand and I will lead you through the dark

Find another way and we will only fall apart

If you trust me we can break through any door

With a new found love it leaves me begging you for more

A smile is simple

Take one from me

Watching my back

And all that I see

Chorus

Cheating Eyes                          By: Howie Askay

Hey open the door, please let me in, I’ve got more to say

I know I’m wrong this time, this is not a lie, I’m sure we’ll find a way

Entering in the room, I smell cheap perfume, But I just don’t want to imply

I’ve seen that look before, It’s not me to conclude but I see cheating eyes

Now tell me the truth and what makes you chose to loose

Another working day, our job is on the line, Darell comes to say

The boss is watching us, He says we fucked things up, Darell that was you

He say I know but take this one, Or I’m on my way out, I’ve got bills to pay

The boss is confronting us, Darell blamed me for, All that was accused

Now tell me the truth and what makes you chose to loose

It was 1999, My band was on the rise, Entered a prize to play

Promoters shoe’d us in, And told us we would win, No matter how others played

That seemed so fucking wrong, Now I will write this song, Confessing now to you

This business is corrupt, They’re willing to disrupt, The choices of all of you

Now tell me the truth and what makes you chose to loose

Some people live a lie, Never sighting the right way

Some people live a lie, Always dreading the new day

Some people live a lie, Never confess or come clean

Some people live a lie, without a way to get free

All people, Everyday, Just dream

LEAVE ME                                By: Howie Askay

The wind on my head has gone to my brain

Long have I thought of life far away

And now when I sleep my dreams fail to start

I stand close to you as I fall apart

Chorus:

Leave me, I’ll wrought through the floor

Leave me, My hands are all worn

Leave me, I had all I can take

Leave me, My whole life has been a mistake

Pit stop through a day, continued oversights

I grab all I can, and hold on with all my might

I’ve licked up the sweat, that has caused me to stray

And from the salt I have saved, I’m better off dead

Chorus:

Shut Down, Reboot                              By: Howie Askay

It’s only words, these are the feelings inside of me

They can’t break free, no not in me

It’s only life, I can’t decide who I should be

You can’t deny, there’s not much time

 (Chorus) I know I told you to listen to me

But can’t you see

Can’t take ahold but I need to and I’m dying to say

It’s not my way, I can’t break free

I’ve told some lies, I don’t know why you stay with me

Side by side, you stick by me

Now I must choose, My shame is something I hold near to my heart

You’ve changed me, It’s time for a brand new start

(Chorus) I know I told you to listen to me

But can’t you see

Can’t take ahold but I need to and I’m dying to say

It’s not my way, I can’t break

I know I told you to listen to me

But can’t you see

Can’t take ahold but I need to and I’m dying to say

It’s not my way, I can’t break free

I can’t break free

I can’t break free 

It’s just not me

Writing On The Walls                             By: Howie Askay

Trouble times have fallen, on the days that I walk through

Youthful eyes are swollen, from the things that they’ve been through

Jump across the water, witness the little they have

Their family bonds are stronger, this is the reason I and sad

(Chorus) Hypocrisy makes me think, why can’t we help you

Instinctively what’s all the secrecy, let’s start over new

In all that we’ll do

Now that I can crawl, I step, run, skip to you

I help you off the ground and show you what I have found

Now nothing seems as clear, to pick up a point of view

Walking on my hands, I balance a new sound

(Chorus)

On top crawl under run far away

Stars shoot across this life that I made

I cracked the rear view mirror, no more looking back

I turned and looked around, there’s a brand new page I found

Now I’m writing on the walls, to give my point of view

Until my pen runs dry, I left one there for you

(Chorus)

On top crawl under run far away

Stars shoot across this life that I made

On top crawl under run far away

Stars shoot across this life that I changed

I left one, I left one there for, one there for you

TOBI                                        By: Howie Askay

Snow falls, silence on repeat

Ice flakes crystallizing, each one is new to me

Black sand and its salty residue

Every grain is cut as different as me and you

(Bridge) Release your breath and see it misty in the air

Holding back what’s eating me, now there’s one day less to care

Butterflies lost in their cocoons

Waiting to escape and fly to somewhere new

Baby birds waiting for mom to feed

Fill me up sure tastes like a butterfly to me

(Bridge)

(Chorus) Tobi don’t go where I can’t follow you

I need you to know that it splits my heart in two

I wish I could take every pain you’ve every felt

Now Tobi go rest inside the children you have held

Every night a shadow on the wall

Reminds me when a new days about to call

Funny thoughts are filling out my mind

Remembering when it was always you and I

(Chorus) X2

You have held X3
