Lyrics: JJ Draper
Music: JJ Draper
Oh, you're dying so quietly!
How your death is so polite to me!
I hear the stars
I feel the dark
And they’re breathing so silently
And any sound is a reply to me
A shivering heart
A homeward dart
But they'll miss it when
When the dawn calls
Taking life in your own hands
That’s what I call progress!
When your mama calls
Taking life in your own hands
That's what I call progress!
I stand upon a fallen tree
And I’m grateful that it died for me
All stuttered steps
All hours spent
Now you're painted and erased, I see
On a wall, the window light a sea
I feel no pain
But I cry the same
Cos I miss you but
When the dawn calls
Taking life in your own hands
That’s what I call progress!
When your mama calls
Taking life in your own hands
That's what I call progress!
