what it takes

what it takes(A.Melleby, 09.20.2015)

I awoke
but never went to sleep
untidy bed
yesterday´s paper
torn to pieces
on the bedroom carpet

this is what it takes
this is what it gives
if you stand the tide
as it moves in
the strength within
will make it happen
this is what it takes
this is what it gives

burdens
to heavy to carry
once you lay down
on the forest floor
perfect hiding
but once you try to get up
it´ll keep you down
the door is shut

this is what it takes
this is what it gives
if you stand the tide
as it moves in
the strength within
will make it happen
this is what it takes
this is what it gives

blinded by the dark
shaken by the silence
and murdered by life
karma works in mysterious ways

this is what it takes
this is what it gives
if you stand the tide
as it moves in
the strength within
will make it happen
this is what it takes
this is what it gives

blinded by the dark
shaken by the silence
and murdered by life
karma works in mysterious ways

this is what it takes
this is what it gives
