us


us(A.Melleby, April 27. 2014)

the evening chills
could never hide
the curse that rang out in the night
voiced by the screams that followed
there is no telling
where this could end

piece it all together
and you´ll find me there
as the glue that binds it all together
creating the picture
that made you fond
of the echoe
followed by my shadow

there`s a story
of epic proportion
in the making
a message roaming through
silencing the storm
darkening the light
unveiling the unknown
for all of us to see
showing us all
what it`s like
to be free

next time we meet
squeese me a little harder
touch me a little softer
let the beginning of time
start all over again
for us and only us
as we´re leaving the rest behind

there`s a story
of epic proportion
in the making
a message roaming through
silencing the storm
darkening the light
unveiling the unknown
for all of us to see
showing us all
what it`s like
to be free

heartache


heartache(A.Melleby, April 27.2014)

a heart
an ache
put together
heartache

two hearts
apart
soul to soul
belonging together

oceans apart
I know
it takes a lonely heart
to know one
it takes a body
to own one

love came our way
only to break our world in halves
where we´ll end
I do not know

words become bleak
as the treasure I seek
is held between the hands
of the beholder

one thing for sure
I do know
what you carry within
is what I cannot live
without

oceans apart
I know
it takes a lonely heart
to know one
it takes a body
to own one

without you
life is a heartache

open your eyes


open your eyes(A.Melleby, April 26, 2014)

hearts beating out of sync
is the rule
hearts beating in sync
is the exception
no doubt

name a name
of someone
you have never met
look between a pair of eyes
holding a story you have never heard

how hard can it be
on the outside of someone elses bubble
looking in
for a change
maybe there is something to be learned

a change
may be in the making
eyes closed
need to be opened wide
to come close to the distance

name a name
of someone
you have never met
look between a pair of eyes
holding a story you have never heard

open your eyes
maybe you´ll see me

name a name
of someone
you have never met
look between a pair of eyes
holding a story you have never heard

baby, open your eyes
and maybe you´ll see me

engaging in our commonness


engaging in our commonness(A.Melleby, April 25, 2014)
you can´t get out
if you have nothing
to get out of

a lonely wolf
is crying out
in the night
waiting
for the echoe
to end

do you
know
what I am
talking about
do you
or do you not

the stairs are waiting
just walk them
or get out of my way
baby, I know
you know
I am your light

don´t
make yourself
invisible
to the future
laying ahead
mapped out for you

if you have a soul
there is a god
if there is a god
it´s a common one
the only one
suiting your needs

the stairs are waiting
just walk them
or get out of my way
baby, I know
you know
I am your light

if you want me
the bed´s already made up

let it rain


let it rain(A.Melleby, April 25, 2014)

no one speaks as loud as you
when you´re around
and no one creates more open space
when you`re gone
you´re a handful
no mater where you go

you climbed a hundred mountains
you swam across a thousand lakes
just to get wherever you´re at
and wherever you go
there you are

making sure
everyone knows
otherwise you wouldn`t have a reason
to go anywhere
at all

daylight skin
pale as the bottom
of a newborn child
when the evening comes
it all turns the other way

so much harder to shed
than the the darkness ahead
led by drops of blood
dripping one by one
into the unknown abyss of a drain

as I bid you goodbye
I am sorry we ever said hi
evil came and evil left
some call it love
I am not there yet

let it rain
