tall(Arnold Melleby, 04.14.2019)

the wind swept me away
as it always does
this time of the day

I have had a bad day
and you know it
yet you send my emotions
through your shadows of demolition
into smitherinees

I stand tall
beyond and above all
come
to a place
where it all makes sense

hidden far off
the trail
you mapped out
for me

drive
but stay away
from the wheel
leave the destination be

before we met
I was fine
then you came
and went
and now I`m doing time

I stand tall
beyond and above all
come
to a place
where it all makes sense

where`s the end
when you can`t see it
wouldn`t it be better
if you could

I lie awake
I lie awake
I lie awake

where`s the end
when you can`t see it
wouldn`t it be better
if you could

I stand tall
beyond and above all
come
to a place
where it all makes sense

I stand tall
beyond and above all
come
to a place
where it all makes sense

silver shore(Arnold Melleby, 04.06.2019)

you ask me
if I wanna get high
I`m a frequent flyer
and I fly with the wind
against it
would show my fear

the commotion
from all the flowers
the commotion
from all the tears
left a trail of change
left naked as the fog cleared

you say
your heart is outta wack
I grab my heartwrench
and turn it a couple of turns
to the left
and you`re alright

friendly fire
indeed it was
as time worked its way
it turned against the enemy
how friendly is a bullet
anyway

still here
but from now on
what`s brought to the table
may not be up for grabs
you may take a look
but, you will never be fed

my greatest teacher
was a stoner
but not a loner
teaching me things
from a world
I never knew existed

if I could change it
I would
the promised land
has never been closer
you can`t give back
something you never got

case closed on silver shore
