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
