You and I shamed the fairytale love You and I shunned the mermaid song But these ghosts And little ones We are not made of coins or bricks So don't you say a word; Bury your love A difficult footnote in your book A line you wish you never wrote Between words Hearts make homes So build your house on brittle sticks And don't you say a word; Bury Bury your love

I know you feel lost; why am I the cost?

January 02:05
January, You pulled the rug from underneath Tore out my innards and spread them down the high street Drew a picture of my errant heart and tore it into bits. The month from whence I came At 33 comes back to stumble in stilettos across my naked brain. Pieces left with all I've loved, but which ones do I claim? And there, At the death, It seems a chance to start again. Start again. January. Start Again.

I keep a tin with another life in The things I'd do if I wasn't forced in The things I'd do if I worried less. Part of me. I try to keep a lid on it With elastic bands and a broken house brick But now and then the seams split And my secrets seep out of the sides. As much as I don't, part of me does. Part of me Part of me does. Can't keep everything in. And then I write in big, bold type: "NOTHING TO SEE HERE, THIS ISN'T MY LIFE" Capital letters, underlined, But my secrets are found out in time. As much as I don't, part of me does. Part of me Part of me does. Can't keep everything in.

It's not that I'm certain you should stay, It's just that I don't see a good enough reason to let go.
7.
I'm pulling strings out of my heart An exploded diagram of hurt Pick out and name each part. Plastinate how we relate Through the arteries that we've created Put it on display. Maybe this will be the making of me.

about

What We Call Progress Northumberland, UK

Glitch rock philosophers from Newcastle upon Tyne, What We Call Progress make music in the tension between nihilistic despair and a genuine hope in the power of togetherness.

With samples taken from malfunctioning children's toys, forced rhubarb and twisted live recordings, they build accessible melody and riffs from the unexpected and unconventional.
