we´re all oceanborn(Arnold Melleby, 11.21.2016)


the water and the sun
basking together
a strike of lightning
and the rest is history
we´re all oceanborn

and all of a sudden
I find myself
living in a dream
trying to take the story
with me
without waking
to make it reality
before I realize
there´s no escaping
reality takes its toll
like it always does

it´s like jumping off a cliff
rising instead of losing altititude
just like taking off
strapped on the wings
of a Dreamliner
awake
and heading for the sky

we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all
ocean born

running out on open fields
inhaling all of the oxygen
present there
your rib cage
now a vacuum cleaner
gasping up all the air

your belly hurts
but there´s no stopping
the killer whale
once the feast is on
there´s no stopping
greed

we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all
ocean born

cry, woman
and lay down by my side
fortune has struck us once
but will it strike again
will it strike again
I wonder

we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all

ocean born
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all oceanborn
we´re all
ocean born

why do we always kill the messenger
will we ever learn

ocean born
