isn`t it time(Arnold Melleby, 01.16.2020)

baptized in your own blood
given the greatest first name on earth
just became the last
some times
it`s a good thing
being bad

drugged, baffled and shellshocked
don`t know who you are
any more
or any less
than you ever did before

a speech made in heaven
but softspoken in hell
as you watch it all fade away
the seed keeps on growing
in the shadow of your life

unaware, bewildered and helpless
you`re as powerful as you`ll ever be
without the one you know as me

isn`t time to give in
isn`t it time to look beauty in the eyes
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of love
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of it all
isn`t it time to give in
isn`t it time

unaware, bewildered and helpless
you`re as powerful as you`ll ever be
without the one you know as me

isn`t time to give in
isn`t it time to look beauty in the eyes
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of love
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of it all
isn`t it time to give in
isn`t it time

isn`t time to give in
isn`t it time to look beauty in the eyes
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of love
isn`t it time to be on the receiving end
of it all
isn`t it time to give in
isn`t it time

baby
isn`t it time

shame on you(Arnold Melleby, 01.11.2020)

I miss my early years
I miss my early tears
the ones cried of joy
happiness at its purest
will they ever return

age is just a number
a number you can`t call
once you get there
you`re stuck
a second at the time

hey
I don`t know what else
to say
so I go
hey

what do you expect
what do you want
when you have experienced
nothing
at all

hey
I don`t know what else
to say
so I go
hey

time will tell
they all said
time told for sure
it spoke
and I listened

where to hide
where to listen
to the voices
that you always thought
only were found in your head

hey
I don`t know what else
to say
so I go
hey

hey
hey!
give me some darkness
so I can see the light
gimme some darkness
gimme some darkness
gimme some darkness
gimme some darkness
gimme some darkness

so I can see the light

hey
shame on you







I don`t want to spend Christmas without you(Arnold Melleby, 12.16.2019)

Christmas fills the air
wherever I go
shoppers make runs for
the deals to seal the love
for loved ones
emptying their pockets
digging in deep

while I`m stuck
in a space called loneliness
Christmas is here
but we`re not
