I try to keep a stable mind
I try to stay the patient one
You’ve been making plans for us
Never thinking about the fun
We’re all prisoners of pride
Don’t think you’re the only one
Seems to me you’ll be ok
Just tell them you’re good and done
Maybe it’s ok not to be ok
All you gotta do is Turn the Page
Tried my best to follow suit
Acted like I gave a damn
But if things don’t go your way
You won’t smile I’m glad I can
Some folks don’t have any work
Some won’t have a bed tonight
I’m thankful things aren’t so bad
But for you, they’re never right
Maybe it’s ok not to be ok
All we gotta do is Turn the Page
Maybe it’s ok just to be ok
It’s not real life it’s a gilded cage

Phoenix & Flame

Don’t have the time to give it naively these days
When it just ends up written off and caught in games
Won’t get my attention won’t get in my way
My way or the highway ain’t nothing you can say
Oh world don’t let me down again
Restless and ready, don’t let this be the end
I’ve been scraping a living, I’ve been just getting by
But momento mori, yeah one day you will die
There are still a few things I think I wanna try
I’m going while it’s good, won’t let this pass me by
As soon as it is written I will find a way
To turn it to ash and then wash it away
A world turned to dark, a world turned to grey
I could burn it all down Phoenix & Flame

From the Start

Something has changed since we last spoke
You’ve a tired and heavy frown
Through all the mirrors and the smoke
Another one has let you down
If we all want the same things
There’s too little to go around
We’re fools when trying to be Kings
If Queens are gone or never found
I’ve never been a great leader
Could I help lead you from the dark
You burn with the most immense fire
That’s been driving me From the Start
This modern fad they call success
Is not always easy to do
Wasn’t for me, you might have guessed
I still wished it went well for you
Have we misplaced our perspective
For progress and growth at all costs
Surely it’s all ineffective
When understanding has been lost
I’ve never been a great leader
Could I help lead you from the dark
Burn with the most immense fire
That’s been driving me From the Start
Could you help me get it clearer
Why I can’t seem to get it right
Lacking the skills I require
To walk away from the light
So what if we never make it
Fighting the wind the whole time
No room to walk off or break it
A path that’s so clearly defined

Fall Apart

Always found it hard to track the meaning of success
Struggling with the means but somehow happier with less
But stumbling how I was back then led me to this end
Where to go and when what to let die or defend
But there’s no milestone, there’s no marker
It all adds up and the day gets darker
And you Fall Apart
And you Fall Apart
We’ve all got a lot to learn about letting go
I just wanna hold on to what I used to know
But all I’m really sure of is you’re not here tonight
And no matter what I want well it’s never by my side
There’s no milestone, there’s no marker
It all adds up and the day gets darker
And you Fall Apart
And you Fall Apart
It’s a stalemate you’re in stasis
It’s the same old pile of trash in a bunch of different places
And you Fall Apart
The older I have gotten the less I’ve come to know
Had to make my own mistakes, never liking to be shown
Well it ain’t the job you got more the people that you meet
Some trying to beat the rat race some trying to find their feet
There’s no milestone
What if there’s no marker
If it all adds up are you just gonna let it go darker
And then you Fall Apart
Then Fall Apart
It’s a stalemate you’re in stasis,
You just didn't hit the ball so you run around the bases
And you Fall Apart.

No One Sings It Better
Jumped straight in my car and said drive
Searching for a place you could hide
From all of your failures and ghosts
Once heroes that wasted your time
I never could manage to shake
The way you would watch the day break
I still look for you in the dark
And a way to get back to the start
We don’t have to fight
You don’t have to talk
You don’t have to stay
So please don’t walk
Even so baby, No One Sings It Better than you do
Our worst regrets, the dreams of such fools
We’re always caught between paying our dues
Veiled truths all I could give to you
Hit me straight out of nowhere like you
The clouds unfolded clear and blue
I’ll never understand how
I could always find a way to let you down
So stuck on getting you back
It all happened so damn fast
Distracted by your ominous frown
Off the bridge on the edge of old town
You don’t have to go
We never got to talk
And now I’ll never know
If we were better off
You just gotta know
I wasn’t gonna stop
I never would have left
Unless you called it off

Andy Hawkins UK
Andy Hawkins did the thing everyone dreams of doing; he quit his job of 7 years, started writing songs, and is about to put out his first EP. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Brian Fallon and Billy Bragg, Andy signed up for songwriting coaching with Canadian songwriter Billy Pettinger. He then traded in his 60 hour work weeks and unforgiving boss for a gig as a security guard so he could focus on writing. ... more

This album is amazing start to finish. Billy has such a way to capture and hold your attention. Hospital is an amazing personal story that hits you in the feels. And if you know you know, Take The Money, is an AMAZING (diss) track that just needs repeat listens to bask in the glory.
