Zero Point 5 by Jamie R Hawkins
Said the Yin to the Yang, "I've got a plan,
I've got a fake I.D. and a job as a hit man.
I'm gonna go by a different name,
Nobody know who I am, or put my face in the frame because I'm,
Sick and tired of the status quo,
I'm always stuck in one position, never able to let you go.
You'll be glad just you wait and see,
No more depending on you,
No more relying on me 'cos
CHORUS:
I didn't choose these shoes and they don't fit me anymore,
So much for sticking to what you know,
And I can't decide if I seem bigger divided
Than I was united with you.
I've never felt so alive
Now I'm a Zero Point 5
Tell me, what do you see when you look at me?
Am I a part of the whole or a separate identity?
How will I know what I'm meant to be,
If I'm always doing what I'm told?
Cos, I'm checking out the flip-sides and I'm,
I'm starting on the inside out and,
I'm beginning to improvise each moment as it comes
CHORUS
And I'm so delighted to be sharing this moment with you
So give me one last glance while you've got the chance
I'm in control of myself, and not a victim of circumstance.
I won't rely on a happenstance,
And I'm never gonna come back home
CHORUS
Zero Point Five

Speechless by Jamie R Hawkins
If I was a painter,
I'd recreate an image of you as I see you now,
In all your glorious repose
and every shade and every colour, every hue at my disposal
Couldn't capture all the reasons I'm in love with you
If I was a sailor,
I'd keep my eye upon the crest of every rolling wave,
Until your lands came into view
And every ocean, every river, every stream,
Would lead me back into your loving arms and,
You would wrap them around me
I've tried to tell you once before but my,
Tongue got tied,
And the words came out and tumbled to the floor.
I don't want to be speechless anymore
Anymore.
If I was a writer,
I'd tell the story of your courage through your darkest hour,
An open window to your soul,
And every page and every chapter, every word would be
A testament to my devotion, a poetry in motion,
The sum of all I need to say to you
Cos, I don't wanna be speechless anymore
I don't wanna be speechless anymore
I wrote this melody to let you know the score cos,
I don't wanna be speechless,
Anymore
I wrote this melody to let you know the score cos,
I don't wanna be speechless,
I don't wanna be speechless,
So I'm not gonna be speechless
Anymore
I'm not speechless anymore

Peachy by Jamie R Hawkins
Well, hello there, I'm just peachy, thanks for asking
It's more than I care to admit,
But when I think of it,
Seven weeks and twenty days, not that I'm counting,
And seeing you still smarts a bit
But I'm alright now
Yeah I'm alright
Now
Separation has agreed with you completely,
I've never seen you look so good,
Better than you should
And it seems you're coping well enough without me,
Just like you always said you could
Cos, You're alright now
Yeah, You're alright
Now
Cos, you're alright now
Yeah, you're alright
Now.
And if fate can set you free,
The I guess we're never meant to be,
And the sun is in my eyes,
As I begin to realise,
There's a little bit of hope for me
Cos, we're alright now
Yeah, we're alright
Now
Cos, we're alright now
Yeah, we're alright
Now.
Well, hello there, I'm just peachy

Walking Into Doors by Jamie R Hawkins
He'll cover you with kisses and he'll smother you with lies
And you'll see him through the bruises of your blue and blackened eyes
And he'll always be predictable and you'll always be surprised
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does
He'll tell you that he's guilty as he blames you for it all
But he's always there to pick you up, though it's him who made you fall
And he'll ask for your permission as he pins you to the wall
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does
And when you're crying in the kitchen
And he's calling you a bitch and
You don't know what you're apologising for
To you it doesn't seem to matter
That you're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You never wonder what you did to make him mad at you today
And it wouldn't make a difference, you deserve it anyway
And he's only doing what his father taught him yesterday,
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does
Do you remember when I told you you'd be better off alone?
You just smiled and said "there's more to him,
Than just blood and broken bone.
And in many ways he gives you more than I could ever know,
So forgive him for he knows not what he does
He's your father boy, he knows not what he does
But you're still crying in the kitchen
And he's calling you a bitch and
Everyday it's getting harder to ignore
Because to me it really matters
That you're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You keep walking into doors
Don't keep walking into doors
Please stop walking into doors

Glass Half Empty by Jamie R Hawkins
The evenings over with too soon
I'll try to focus on the moon
I'll call a cab and let the driver rip me off a tenner or two
As you do
When I come round eventually
It all come flooding back to me
So I'll just roll a smoke and blow my more coherent thoughts away
Everyday
Cos, the one with all the luck is everyone else
And the one with all the love is holding you
I will cradle my half empty glass
and concentrate upon the half that's full
Like I do
I hear you've found another friend
And so it goes around again
That while I fall apart you give your heart to someone else to mend
Time and again
Cos, the one with all the luck is everyone else
And the one with all the love is holding you
I will cradle my half empty glass
and concentrate upon the half that's full
Like I do
So pour me another one
Prentend you don't know all the things that I've done
And I'll try to be somebody, anyone other than me
Cos, the one with all the luck is everyone else
And the one with all the love is holding you
I will cradle my half empty glass
and concentrate upon the half that's full
Like I do
Like I do
