love

love comes and goes
and so do I

a.m.

a body to die for, a soul to cry for

a body to die for, a soul to cry for(A.Melleby, 07.31.2015)

I am not your common flower
I can´t be picked
and you won´t notice my scent
until I´m gone
they say I´ve got three hearts
one buried deep inside my chest
the two others
well, who knows

you´ve got
a body to die for
and soul to cry for
a loophole to a state called empty
lasting an eternity
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a body to die for
and soul to cry for

if you´ve got to run
you better run with your heroes
rather than against them
getting killed by the messenger
will never be an option
for any of us
courtesy of lucifer
if you marry one
you will become one yourself
try to stand tall
my angel in the dark
my ray of light

you´ve got
a body to die for
and soul to cry for
a loophole to a state called empty
lasting an eternity
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a body to die for
and soul to cry for

I am not your common flower
I can´t be picked
and you won´t notice my scent
until I´m gone
they say I´ve got three hearts
one buried deep inside my chest
the two others
well, who knows


you´ve got
a body to die for
and soul to cry for
a loophole to a state called empty
lasting an eternity
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a few´ll always get killed
a few´ll always die
to make others survive
a body to die for
and soul to cry for

doomed

doomed(A.Melleby, 07.31.2015)

don´t be stingy with your smiles
don´t look the other direction
when I seek your attention
I demand your full cooperation
I know you know the rules of our game
I don´t care what you may think
why waste my own thoughts
why waste my time
when I can waste yours

as I walk you through the wood
you find the trees are missing
and ask me where they all went
the seeds have not found their way
and never will

doomed as you are
all you can do now
is follow me
I will never leave your side
as long as you clear the spell
doomed as you are

I´ve got rimes that´ll rip your soul
my words are out of control
beyond any letter in any alphabet
I´ve got a cannon in my back yard
that´ll rip a hole in your heart
the size of Texas I might add

doomed as you are
all you can do now
is follow me
I will never leave your side
as long as you clear the spell
doomed as you are

doomed as you are
all you can do now
is follow me
I will never leave your side
as long as you clear the spell
doomed as you are

fallen beauty

fallen beauty(A.Melleby, 07.31.2015)

rivers deep
mountains taller than most peoples self esteem
I´ve crossed and climbed them all
I still do
and always will

as long as I can pay the bill
and as long as there is time to kill
I´ll fire in the right direction
and collect my prey

I am no fallen beauty
I am no lonely stallion
that has left everyone`s desire
roaming the forests
befriending the trees
I´ve still got it
from within
skin deep
not deep enough
for me

I am no fallen beauty
I am no lonely stallion
that has left everyone`s desire
roaming the forests
befriending the trees
I´ve still got it
from within
skin deep
not deep enough
for me

I am no fallen beauty
I am no lonely stallion

a perfect moment in time

a perfect moment in time(A.Melleby, 07.19.2015)

this is what it`s like

this is what is

this is real

not just a feeling

but a world

getting ready to explode

arm in arm

taking the long way home

the sandy beach

along the bay 

where we met

where we`ll never meet again

at least not for the frst time

ever again

the sun`s still shining

your lips are still longing

for the man walking next to you

still longing for me

eye to eye

heart to heart

hand in hand

time standing still

if it all came to an end

it would be alright

a perfect moment in time

an evil scream

on the silver screen

lip-syncing the lines

from a script without an end

just like the nightmares

that gave the daylight

a reason to step out of the darkness

giving you

a reason to stay

eye to eye

heart to heart

hand in hand

time standing still

if it all came to an end

it would be alright

a perfect moment in time

eye to eye

heart to heart

hand in hand

time standing still

if it all came to an end

it would be alright

a perfect moment in time



hard times for a late bloomer

hard times for a late bloomer(A.Melleby, 07.19.2015)

there`s light at the end
of any tunnel
you may find yourself in
just like you got in
you gotta get out

these are hard times
for a late bloomer
these are hard times
for someone like me

I followed the bait
I followed the scent
and went all in

these are hard times
for a late bloomer
these are hard times
for someone like me

these are hard times
for a late bloomer
these are hard times
for someone like me

knight in shining armour

knight in shining armour(A.Melleby, 07.09.2015)

just like any story
this has a beginning
just like any story
this has an end
not a single drop of water
could ever flood my ocean
like you did

you hid it well
no kiss and tell
no knight in shining armour
at your doorstep
at any given time
no knight in shining armour
to save you
to remind you of me

if there`s a heaven
I wanna go there too
if there´s a heaven
I wanna go there with you
just like the rivers
feeding on each other
until the ocean is met

you hid it well
no kiss and tell
no knight in shining armour
at your doorstep
at any given time
no knight in shining armour
to save you
to remind you of me

you hid it well
no kiss and tell
no knight in shining armour
at your doorstep
at any given time
no knight in shining armour
to save you
to remind you of me

in the end
there´s just one more thing to say
if you had looked behind you, dear
you would have seen me there
I was your knight in shining armour
all the time
