# Lyrics

It’s not like I know
How to be whole
Its more a feeling in my heart that comes but goes

Its not like I see
Things slip from me
Just let my eyes fall to dark spaces in between

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

Its not like the world
Will let me take a breath
A thousand foolish fates await the ones that’s left

It’s not going to change
It’s not going to wait
It’s challenging everything you can before too late

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

Try to Believe

Let Go

Not really alt rock but the guitar solo at the end is fairly anarchic. 

To Fly or not to Fly 

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

To fly or not to fly that is the question.    
It’s a no brainer ‘cept for the greedy and absurd.   
There’s kilos of carbon coming from engines. 
While the earth below - floods and burns

M’lady says she’s gotta fly yeah it’s in the blood            
She’s gotta have exotica - it’s there for the taking
Even though people of the world - are under the pump
And down there in the wheat fields – the crops are baking

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

Hate being a gloomy carrier pigeon
But the writings there on the internet
The forecast for earth - it’s grim and turgid
Makes it dumb to fly airliner jets

M’lady says the scientists - will find a solution
There’s no need to live  - like a peasant farmer
She don’t need to feel shame - about her vapor trail
Hey she’s never been - to West Estonia

TO FLY OR NOT TO FLY

Bring Me That Sweet Thing Called Love

lately I've been down, so many things on my mind,
felt like the clouds were falling from the sky
and all I've ever known, everything that was precious to me
just blew away on a Summer breeze, hmmmm

Life never promised an easy ride I know
but when the rain falls hard we'll shelter from the storm
wait for the sun to shine a little light along the way 
give us the strength to carry on

Chorus: 
And if I push you away when I really long for you to stay, 
one thing will always be the same 
one constant thing in this crazy sea of change 
and its that sweet thing, oooh that sweet thing, oooh 
bring me that sweet thing called love

You say that you can't see a side to me that's real 
that I'm just a shadow of all I used to be 
you think that I've become afraid to feel 
that I'm always looking for yesterday hmmmm

And so you tell me it all happens for a reason 
part of a plan that we'll never see, 
and all those times that I changed my direction 
always you came back, always you came back to me

Chorus
But if you hold me strong, hold me for as long 
and if I push you away when I really long for you to stay
oh bring me that sweet thing, bring me that sweet thing oooh
please bring me that sweet thing called love

This, That & The Other
