just for you(Arnold Melleby, 02.27.2017)

being the one
the one for you

to be one of the naughty boys

to be the one that makes you laugh

to be the one that makes you cry

to be the one that makes your toes curl

love gives hope
love leaves rules
inspiration to live by
and when it it happens
we`re so afraid to let it die

I threw it far and beyond
and saw it brake into a thousand pieces
a soul left in a frozen status quo
letting love lay low for longer than a while
just long enough to prolong the last breath
putting the the pieces back together againletting love live on

being the one

the one for you

to be one of the naughty boys

to be the one that makes you laugh

to be the one that makes you cry

to be the one that makes your toes curl

I revived the flowers that once were in bloom

and let them bloom all over again

just for you

I revived the flowers that once were in bloom

and let them bloom all over again

just for you

just for you

calm the herd(Arnold Melleby, 02.23.2017)

a broken soul
a giant hole
impossible to fill
unless you expose
all of your within

look up and face the sky
capture it and bring it down
down to where you find yourself
let it embrace you
and fill the darkness ahead
just a footstep away

crawling around on the ground
I seem to have lost the key
screaming out your name
without you
it could all just have been the same

it´s late at night
but still early
someone please use the key
I left outside
for all of you to find
the one I cannot use myself
in this time of need
in a time to get rescued
instead of being left out to dry
the ones to blame will hang high

please calm the herd

the shepherd`s on his way

he´s a´just bit lost

and will take charge of his dogs

and then take control over what´s not

gothic angel(Arnold Melleby, 02.23.2017)

I saw you
long before
you ever knew
I existed

turf has grown
and the sky has shown
a million different faces
across the horizon
as blue as it comes
behind all and any clouds

gothic angel
gothic angel
where would I be
without you
my gothic angel
where would I be
without you

I saw you

long before

you ever knew

I existed

I saw you

long before

you ever knew

I existed

fighting the same powers

getting stronger

as time moves on

there´s no telling

where this could end

gothic angel

gothic angel

where would I be

without you

my gothic angel

where would I be 

without you

gothic angel

gothic angel

where would I be

without you

my gothic angel

where would I be 

without you

gothic angel

gothic angel

my gothic angel

you are my dream

what the fuck happened(Arnold Melleby, 02.20.2017)

if you ever saw my face
you would cry from the tears
I never cried myself

if we were together
we´d never be further
from each other

you can never deny
me of being the child
I was never allowed to be

when I was together
everyone else was apart
I knew I was up for a bad start

what the fuck happened to love
what the fuck happened to sin
what the fuck happened to fucking fucking
I don´t know where to begin
time to check all of the above

questions rule my mind
answers are hard to find
living a life as a question mark

my library don´t seem to have the book
although I know the rest of the world has it
until I do, I´ll never get off the hook

what the fuck happened to love

what the fuck happened to sin

what the fuck happened to fucking fucking

I don´t know where to begin

time to check all of the above

what the fuck happened to love

what the fuck happened to sin

what the fuck happened to fucking fucking

I don´t know where to begin

time to check all of the above

gold high,
diamond low
is that a way to go

no, no, no, no
spank me with your evil mind
let´s team up and be the vivid kind

what the fuck happened to love

what the fuck happened to sin

what the fuck happened to fucking fucking

I don´t know where to begin

time to check all of the above

what the fuck happened to love

what the fuck happened to sin

what the fuck happened to fucking fucking

I don´t know where to begin

time to check all of the above

can I keep the change(Arnold Melleby, 02.20.2017)

you give, take and forgive
you lie, tell the truth and forsake
a landscape in constant change
following a path that can lead to ruin
if you make one single turn
life is beautiful
if you keep your cool
and let it out
at the right moment in time

can I keep the change
if I pay you the right way
can I keep the time
I´ve spent searching
for what´s mine

bleeding
until you bled dry
feeding
all but scavengers
what´s the sense in that
if all you held
was beauty
in its purest sense
scared to ask the right questions
afraid of the all the wrong answers

can I keep the change

if I pay you the right way

can I keep the time

I´ve spent searching 

for what´s mine

you give, take and forgive

you lie, tell the truth and forsake

a landscape in constant change

following a path that can lead to ruin

if you make one single turn

life is beautiful

if you keep your cool

and let it out

at the right moment in time

can I keep the change

if I pay you the right way

can I keep the time

I´ve spent searching 

for what´s mine

can I keep the change

if I pay you the right way

can I keep the time

I´ve spent searching 

for what´s mine

can I keep the change

a crazy ass motherfucker(Arnold Melleby, 15.02.2017)

it takes a new kind of high
to reach a new kind of low
there´s a place I go to gather
reminding me of my father
a place where the leaves fall early

a crazy ass motherfucker
is who you are

goodbye to the heroes
goodbye to the ones
that always made the day brighter
for the ones
that never saw the sun
goodbye to heroes
as we knew them

battleworn and offended
no wonder this came to an end

a crazy ass motherfucker

is who you are

send me a line 

let´s do the time

whatever it takes

to cross it

just to get somewhere

just to help time

to move on

a crazy ass motherfucker

is who you are

a crazy ass motherfucker

is who you you´ll still be

when I´m done

with you

a crazy ass motherfucker

is who you are

it takes a new kind of high

to reach a new kind of low

it takes a new kind of high

to reach a new kind of low

it takes a new kind of high

to reach a new kind of low

a crazy ass motherfucker

is who you are

no matter what(Arnold Melleby, 02.15.2017)

I guess it´s all worth while
as the shadows move in closer
what I saw before becomes clearer
as the sun defines my day

there´s beauty
in everything ugly
there´s hope
in everything that´s appreciated

the edge is always near
if you chose to walk on it
but as long as your consciousness is clear
you won´t miss the slightest bit

no matter what
the bees will be humming
let´s gamble
let´s gamble
let´s gamble
let´s gamble
no matter what
the bees will be humming
let´s gamble
all we´ve got is the night
tonight

cared for and slaughtered
laughed at and minimized
too young to die
and too old to live

when´s enough enough
when does the table turn
and what for
when you know let me know

no matter what

the bees will be humming

let´s gamble

let´s gamble

let´s gamble

let´s gamble

no matter what

the bees will be humming

let´s gamble

all we´ve got is the night

tonight

no matter what

love D.O.A.(Arnold Melleby, 02.05.2017)

a soul hung out to dry
down, deep in a salt mine
inside a mountain you were set to climb
I guess the truth came down
really hard on you
ain´t it tough
not knowing what to do

origin from a short-lived
midtown family
they were tall, though
honesty was the way
like a power line
cutting through
a wilderness forest
like a knife

I guess it makes sense, but
I really don`t
I really don`t
I really don`t
I really don`t want to know

comatosed by the pain
and the forever pouring rain
driving us all insane
packing a gun
can´t seem to locate the bullets
and my trigger finger has gone numb

like a true gambler
you postponed your suicide
until after the numbers were drawn

at last
our love was found
D.O.A.

love
D.O.A.
love
D.O.A.
love
D.O.A.
love

where were you
when love was found
D.O.A.

dead on arrival
