barefoot

barefoot(A.Melleby, 03.28.2015)

fragile words
fragile mind
words spoken
but no one listens
the healing power of an answer
is nowhere to be heard

where could the waves of sound go
where could they escape

in your subconsciousness
beneath the arch of the creator
is where you´ll find it

you were too busy
looking at yourself in the mirror
too busy trying on new shoes
shoes you could not fill
shoes you look silly walking in
get a hold of yourself
move on
barefoot



karma


paying debt to karma
what happens to karma if karma owes you?

paris

paris(A.Melleby, 03.28.2015)

a dark chapter
just put its first letters out
leaving nothing to the imagination
leaving nothing to fate
the end of it, though
will leave nothing but hate

since the day you were born
I know
you wish you could have done it all
all over again
start off fresh
cut some crap
and remember it all
for a change

banging heads
for no reason at all
flashing the smith and wesson
for no apparent reason at all
do you get my drift
do you understand
anything at all

paris
is a city
in my dreams I never wanted to conquer
paris
still may be
the very city you`ll find me in
paris
in your dreams

trying to make Morrissey envious(A.Melleby, 03.28.2015)

I set foot
where no feet
had ever sat foot
before

lookalikes where around and about
nothing I could do about that
so I did the opposite
I did everything
and nothingness no longer
existed

can you feel the power
can you feel the luck I had
in my attack
got me right back on track
to read the words
you never spoke
words leading me right to you
anyway

kept at bay
by the monster that created me
led astray
by the monsters that hate my being
no wonder
I have sleepless nights
no wonder
I have weary days

get me a convertible from the ages of no worries
catch me in the sin from the place where the very sin itself was created
you´ll still be around, though
to carry the banner of the ages
the one with the obvious slogans
but with the content of nothing useful
other to the ones mother nature
herself find nothing but useless

people

people come and people go
sometimes I´m one of those people too

if

if you only knew where you were going,
you´d be fucking dangerous

bad wibes,
beats having none at all

uncut

she was uncut,
but no diamond

you were there

you were there(A.Melleby, 03.25.2015)

smile to me while you caress my hair
tell me the lies you know I want to hear
let me be the one I know you never wanted
let me feel the lie I know I´ve turned into

learning
learning by doing all the things
I shouldn´t have done
why should you mind
why should you care
point being
you were there

it all happened in the month of March
the month that seemed to never end
sick to my stomach just thinking about it
and it ain´t over yet
no, no
it ain´t over yet

you always said
life is for the living
and once you´re dead
life`s not worth living
seems easy to say
when all you seem to do is crawl

smile to me while you caress my hair
tell me the lies you know I want to hear
let me be the one I know you never wanted
let me feel the lie I know I´ve turned into

learning
learning by doing all the things
I shouldn´t have done
why should you mind
why should you care
point being
you were there

beating around the bush
slowly learning which heads to crush
and which ones not to
last night I did see the light, though
it all became clear
my lesson of love has come to an end

I will take the next train out of here
to get as far away from you I ever can get
even if you follow me
I am not to be found, spotted or recognized
I´m outta here, really outta here
let your blindfold unfold

learning
learning by doing all the things
I shouldn´t have done
why should you mind
why should you care
point being
you were there


you were there

spreading like wildfire

spreading like wildfire(A.Melleby, 24.03.2015)

a face and a vision
space and division
rulers and intruders
walking down the isle
I don´t think so

angels are born
angels are torn
angels sease to breathe
but they never sease to exist

spreading like wildfire
spreading like a beast
keys are made
keys are tossed
some never make it through
to open the gates
they´re made to open
spreading like wildfire
spreading like we do
spreading like wildfire

a face and a vision
space and division
rulers and intruders
walking down the isle
I don´t think so

angels are born
angels are torn
angels sease to breathe
but they never sease to exist

spreading like wildfire
spreading like a beast
keys are made
keys are tossed
some never make it through
to open the gates
they´re made to open
spreading like wildfire
spreading like we do

spreading like wildfire
