angels fall(Arnold Melleby, 07.30.2016)

the ocean gives
and the ocean takes
fed by the rivers
and rains of the motherland

in the hands of our mother
mother nature has the final say
in the hands of our mother
she always has the final word

angels fall
and dust yeilds dust
no secrets of the universe
will ever go unraveled
if you ever got your hand
on the future
so devine

waves forever pounding
a shore so wild and unforgiving
each and every seagull
roaming the shores
count for a missing soul
swallowed by the waters
they all wanted to reach alive

singing the song of a lost sailor
singing the song of the lost souls
a journey ending
before the destination
promises of forever
and new lands to discover
ending in the nothingness
of a frightful death

angels fall
and dust yeilds dust
no secrets of the universe
will ever go unraveled
if you ever got your hand
on the future
so devine

angels fall
angels fall
angels fall
angels fall
angels fall

troubled shoulders(Arnold Melleby, 07.30.2016)

forget about the eyes you meet
and look into the eyes
that greet what´s behind the door
hiding a beautiful soul
eyes that see beyond the beauty
visible only skin deep

a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you need
a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you´ll get
if you stick with me

25 years ago I was there
now I´m here
still going places
and the desert still grows
to a bloom

It´s all right
no need to
put up a fight
save the wine
there´s still tomorrow

a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you need
a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you´ll get
if you stick with me

forget about the eyes you meet
and look into the eyes
that greet what´s behind the door
hiding a beautiful soul
eyes that see beyond the beauty
visible only skin deep

a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you need
a bridge over your troubled shoulders
is what you´ll get
if you stick with me

when you think you´ve had enough(Arnold Melleby, 07.29.2016)

buy yourself into a parallel universe
try to turn the curse
towards the ones that placed it on you
don´t let it hang around
for too long

worlds apart
hanging out outside your gate
they´re all waiting to get paid
waiting long until
the mighty dollar shakes her wings
and they´re off to get laid
I guess it beats getting laid off
all to be repeated next week
a never ending circle
called someone else`s life

when you think you´ve had enough
there I am
when you think you´ve had enough
there I stand
when you think you´ve had enough
you`ll find me standing
right in front of you

pushing the pedal to the metal
of the little red one
leaving the rest in a trail of dust
here is now
there goes yesterday
curtains drawn
an open heart
but you can´t look in
sin from within
don´t want no sunlight
sin from within
gives in to the darkness
that created it all

when you think you´ve had enough
there I am
when you think you´ve had enough
there I stand
when you think you´ve had enough
you`ll find me standing
right in front of you

when you think you´ve had enough
there I am
when you think you´ve had enough
there I stand
when you think you´ve had enough
you`ll find me standing
right in front of you

lap(Arnold Melleby, 07.22.2016)

one finger on the trigger
and the other one
fingering the universe
can´t get any better
or worse
unless you end up
with the curse itself
on your lap

reality(Arnold Melleby, 07.22.2016)

it´s been years
the tears
are no more
they´ve all evaporated
energy does not disappear
it just takes other forms
and moves on
just like we did

white silk shirt(Arnold Melleby, 07.22.2016)

a white silk shirt
will do
sending the signal
you need
to find me
giving you the uppertunity
to give me a stain
and be my pain
to show the world
that I´m by no means perfect
perfect at all

when a heart takes a beating(Arnold Melleby, 07.22.2016)

the blackest of ravens
tappet on my windowsill
made my morning come alive
a rude awakening
of a different kind
the sun was shining
but it didn´t exactly make my day

just like the mirror
it told no lies
just like the mirror
it was all about goodbyes

I´d trade the world
to find the likes
of someone like you
you were hard to find
another planet
in another universe
awaits
the likes of me

you blew me away
sent my soul astray
words are scarce
and hard to find
searching my mind
for the right letters
to form words
shaped like the key
I do need
to open the heart
of yours
