echoes(Arnold Melleby, 03.09.2016)

if you can´t handle the beauty you´ve been given
it should have been given someone else
going by the name the shallow snake
last seen between jupiter and mars
the moment you thought you got him
he slipped away, time and time again

flakier than your average laptop dancer
heading off to Mexico
to shine with the stars
no one heard a word
until he came home
no need for a wallet
with nothing to fill it with

he´s not got
what it takes to make a man
as a matter of fact
he´s not got anything at all

he used to walk into a room
and own it
he used to be everything
everyone else wanted him to be
he got along just fine
until his victims called it a crime
taking advantage of his looks
soon getting hooked
on the very hook he created himself
pleasure and pain
all of the sudden
became the same
no bitter tears
just the echoes
of life misspent

he´s not got
what it takes to make a man
as a matter of fact
he´s not got anything at all

he´s not got
what it takes to make a man
as a matter of fact
he´s not got anything at all
