skeleton crew(Arnold Melleby, 04.15.2020)

falling asleep to
the healing words of
mother earth when
she goes
hush, hush, hush
it`ll all be alright

quite highways
deserted hotels

my beloved America
running on a skeleton crew
where gas is cheap
if you`re willing
to touch the handle

leaders
too afraid
to hold the torch
getting it wrong
when we all need
to get it right

when you finally
make it home
and park your car
on the driveway
you grew up
antibac awaits

falling asleep to
the healing words of
mother earth when
she goes
hush, hush, hush
it`ll all be alright

falling asleep to
the healing words of
mother earth when
she goes
hush, hush, hush
it`ll all be alright

isolationship(Arnold Melleby, 04.11.2020)

dig deeper 
into yourself
like a knife
cutting through
your very soul

like a lover in the sky
that you`re trying to untie

isolationship 
the room you never
walked into
before
isolationship
the room you find yourself
stuck in
and can`t leave
any time soon
isolationship 
you`re only relationship
right now

clowds above rule the high
clouds you can no longer see

dig deeper 
into yourself
like a knife
cutting through
your very soul

isolationship 
the room you never
walked into
before
isolationship
the room you find yourself
stuck in
and can`t leave
any time soon
isolationship 
you`re only relationship
right now

dig deeper 
into yourself
like a knife
cutting through
your very soul
dig deeper 
into yourself
like a knife
cutting through
your very soul
isolationship

rest in peace, war(Arnold Melleby, 04.08.2020)

I heard a rumour today
no more bullets were
roaming through the air
like they have been
as long as there is memory

as it turned out
the world
all of a sudden
had a brand new visitor
turning up knocking
on our door
never said hello
just walked on in
destroying everything
through his touch
destroying everything
through his breath

the world`s listening
the world`s paying attention
the bullets aren`t flying
any more
a common enemy
has taken its toll

rest in peace
rest in peace
rest in peace
rest in peace, war

love is you and I(Arnold Melleby, 04.02.2020)

living in the fear
that the war inside you
will win
sad and blue
and life moves on

love is no angel
love is you and I

crawling into my spine
there aren`t enough eyes out there
that`ll be able to see all
of what I feel inside

spellbound by a mastermind
saturday night
every night
in love with the vibe

can`t you see me
from everywhere
lighting up the sky
above you

love is no angel
love is no angel
love is no angel
love is you and I

it`s just a shame
everyone goes away
in the end

love is no angel
love is no angel 
love is no angel
love is you and I

love is no angel
love is you and I
