Urge To Fly

What is this
This urge to fly
Legs unsprung
Springs wound tight
Climb this railing
Count to three
Arms out wide
I am free
Gravity
She calls so loud
But I cannot hear
My head’s in the clouds
Stroking sky
The purring blue
I’m falling up
I’m falling through
Knuckles white
I’m holding on
The urge to fly
Is strong
So strong
I know I
Don’t wanna die
So what is this
This urge to fly
Do I hang on
This beautiful world
Build me a life
Find me a girl
So do I hang on
Just one second more
Turn from the threshold
Slam the door
This was supposed to be
The end of all fears
So why are they screaming
So loud in my ears
Step back
Step back
Step back enjoy the sunshine
Get a coffee
Get my head straight
I cannot let me win
This ain’t gonna be easy
Hang on
But god it feels so good
Bathing this deeply
A voice spoke in my head
And this is what it said
I’m you ten years from now
It all works out somehow
Walk in the sunrise
With me
You’re me ten years ago
So full of our ego
Let it bleed out our feet
Walk on
Walk down the street

Merlin Ball Vancouver, British Columbia
Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.
Merlin Ball recommends:

One Cello x 16: Natoma
by Zoe Keating
Got this album a couple years ago and love it. Dreamy, percussive, tuneful.

The music and experimentation coming out of Hel Audio is exciting and very, very cool. Heard about this particular artist via the 99% Invisible podcast a few years ago. Ok Ikumi is go-to chill music.
