this is not the day(Arnold Melleby, 10.21.2018)

I`m not here to change the world
honey, I`m here
to change you

don`t say another word
cause, when it comes down to
the truth
you tend to lie

yeah, yeah
it`s about time to let it all out
this is not the way
a wolf hunts his prey
yeah, yeah
this is not the day
after all

pretending to have a life
the morning light
never seem to catch you
at a moment that suits you

if you let me
kiss you all over
I guess this love affair
could start

when others say hi
you tend to say
goodbye

yeah, yeah
it`s about time to let it all out
this is not the way
a wolf hunts his prey
yeah, yeah
this is not the day
after all

what will become of you
maybe a christmas tree
the way you dress at times
could only make Santa happy
on his big day of the year

all kidding aside
this is not a place
to resolve it
the fine blue line
will still run
through our hearts

yeah, yeah
it`s about time to let it all out
this is not the way
a wolf hunts his prey
yeah, yeah
this is not the day
after all

if you gotta tell a story
it`s best if you don`t stutter

I had a dream(Arnold Melleby, 10.19.2018)

raw is the deal
it`s written in your will
even if you`ve got the time
to kill

time
on the other hand
will never forgive you
time will wipe out
the memory of you
time
is all you`ve got
in this lifetime
spend it wisely

brick by brick
ever built up
every inch
you have ever grown
you`re living your life
in a never ending
slow decay
at the end
the only survivor
is your DNA

what do we do now
how far can we reach
are we willing
to take on another round
in the ring
in the circle
of forever
ending in never

getting here
was voluntary
still you complain
don`t you understand
one man
can`t bring down
an entire people
one vision
takes many believers
to bring it to life
giving birth

the door was open
but you were closed
finding yourself
left out in the cold
where the vulchers
were waiting
for their feast

I had a dream
that I never dreamt
thoughts flying through my head
disproving reality
uncontent

just for you(Arnold Melleby, 10.16.2018)

if your dream was ever
to snuggle in
on a mountain top
can`t ever compete, though
with the falling leafs

in command
of a forever ready pen
to write whatever`s on my mind
I`ll clear a page
and put out the words
just for you

yeah
just for you

got a pistol
lying with me
like the devil I am
I`ll pray for it
to hit the stream
of the busy river
that I am, after all
surfing on
to get upstream

I had my bags packed
ready to leave the room
no compass or GPS
to lead my track
no reason to watch my back
then, all of a sudden
there was you

in command
of a forever ready pen
to write whatever`s on my mind
I`ll clear a page
and put out the words
just for you

yeah
just for you

just for you
just for you
just for you

yeah
just for you

the only peace of mind
to be found
no need to worry
this is the only place
you wanna be cought
if you wanna be found
without being lost

I`ll write these words
I`ll write this chapter
just for you
just follow the signs
grab the moon
and let it take you there
if your vision is blurred

in command
of a forever ready pen
to write whatever`s on my mind
I`ll clear a page
and put out the words
just for you

yeah
just for you

just for you
just for you
just for you

when tears cry(Arnold Melleby, 10.14.2018)

they were there
to help you out
like they always had done
then all of a sudden
they started to evaporate
like you`re history

when tears cry
they have nowhere to run
when hope is all but gone
tears will cry

they`re all taking me back
to a time
when vanity was in demand
then the walls came caving in
hitting where it hurts the most
leaving you snowblind
in the mother of all avalanches

now, that all the birds have flown
you suddenly realize
you arrived in pain
and left the same
ruled by the chaos
you were born into

tears will cry
if you look close enough
you`ll see they do
can`t be misunderstood
tears will cry
even if you brake the spell
or have a story to sell
they won`t buy it
and cry on

in sickness
and health

tears will cry

perfect judas(Arnold Melleby, 10.06.2018)

I`m almost done
I`m not lookin` for your clone
just lookin` for the one
behind the curtain
that hides between 4 brick walls
I need to see you smile
competing with the sun

I can see
you`ve got five fingers
maybe it`s time
to use the one in the middle
a bit more often
and first and foremost
quit boxing
with yourself

like a cow
falling down from the sky
it`s never pretty
when it hits the ground
your brother fresh in mind
he went to a bar
that fulfilled all his drinks
and never came back

and you want to play the hero
one more time
don`t wanna?
I thought so
save them prayers
for someone else

I`m lookin`for someone
to fight for
I`m lookin` for someone
to stand tall for
and at 6`4`` it should be
that hard
are you still
in my game

I know
you`re going to love me again
you just don`t know when
you`re going to love me again
you just don`t know when

I`ll go ahead
and drop my guard for you
just to make you love me
again

in spite of the fact
of the perfect judas
you were
in spite of the fact
of the perfect judas
you`ll always be

I forgive you
be my hound
and `ll be your dog

my perfect judas

the real deal(Arnold Melleby, 10.04.2018)

here`s a lesson on
how it`s like to be free
here`s a lesson
on how it`s like to be me
and if there are lessons
to be learned
you can have my tears for free

all invisible
but yet
it`s all you`ll ever see
I heard a tumble one morning
but it didn`t wake me up

for starters
you could tell me
that you love me
if you don`t
it wouldn`t matter
anyway

is this real
or am I
unaware of the score
when do we get to see the core
that made it all worth while
the real deal

I do know
what you already do not
I do not know
what you already know
of course,
I am disappointed
here`s now
and then am I

you`ve become my chaos
and I am ready to roll
or whatever
it takes
to break
the spell
to make you speak
words I can understand

another year older
another mind younger
is all you need to know
for now
only to find out
you`ve misunderstood
it all

another year older
another mind younger
is all you need to know
for now
only to find out
you`ve misunderstood
it all

the real deal
is what it`s all about

I`d catch her fall(Arnold Melleby, 10.04.2018)

the table has turned
this is the time
when you`ll find out
how much you`ve earned
this is also the time
when you`ll find out
how little you`ve deserved

times are tough
for all of us
times are rough
even for the toughest of us
but if the winds chill
we`ll have time to kill
together
to make some common sense
again

I find comfort
I find comfort
in the ones
that see what I see
in the ones
that would walk the mile
in my shoes
barefoot
as I walk

and if I could find a way
I`d walk it every day
just to make sure
that the one I made the path for
would never ever
get lost
to find the one
she`s looking for

and if she ever stumbled
I`d catch her fall

if she ever stumbled
I`d catch her fall
if she ever stumbled
I`d catch her fall

it`s all right
just like the wine
that ran between
time and forever
there`s nothing else to do
we`re all waiting for
forever

but if she ever stumbled
I`d catch her fall

dogs will keep on barking(Arnold Melleby, 10.04.2018)

romeo and juliet
had their days
in the sunlight
but that`s nothing
I`m looking for
getting hit by a train
that feels good

I guess I gotta
disappear for a while
to see if there`s a void
to see if I`m nothing
or every breath
in the room
I`m ready for a touchdown
I`m ready to throw the ball

I need some chemicals
to keep me alive
just in case
you adore me

the smell of fresh air
used to be all I ever needed
but now the fresh air is all gone
the air is not fresh any more
and the mountains that it once travelled through
are all but gone too

now
what to do
what to do
I do not know
the dogs will keep on barking
anyway
now
won`t they

bending over
to bend backwards
to please the few
that ever took the run
and spilled the fun
for the rest
who took their time
to become eyes
on the field without seats

now
what to do
what to do
I do not know
dogs will keep on barking
anyway
now
won`t they

now
what to do
what to do
I do not know
dogs will keep on barking
anyway
now
won`t they
