wings(Arnold Melleby, 06.30.2016)

lay it all out
then lay low
to see what happens
to see what you can change
the next time you`re around

give your heart a break
do not take what you do not need
harmony is not a bad thing
or take a lot of drugs
if you prefer to die young

take a pill to calm your nerves
nerves you would never have
if you did not take that pill
common sense makes no sense
common sense is not common any more

some of us should never die
some of us got wings
some of us do not
but it´s always the ones who don´t
that do
die

that´s when I noticed you
in a crowd I could not be a part of
I connected with you
in a place that scared me
I found what I needed to keep the calm

do you understand
do I make myself clear
it´s like you were never there
like you do not care
a tsunami awaits your shore

you can burn
but you don`t have to
burn everything in your way
down to the ground
leave us a trace to follow

lift the curse
and you´ll gain
happiness yourself
we do not
have a future ahead

I have lived
and I have learned
I have no beginning
I have no end
and that´s the message I´d like to send

a silver spoon
taste no good
if it´s in the mouth
of a misbeliever
ever again

certain elements
 are carved in stone
rock stars are not
