children of a lesser world(Arnold Melleby, 08.01.2020)

a train running down the track
derailing before the last turn
before the last station
of the days route
final destination out of reach
passengers wondering around
in the fields of never
like zombies

time
who is there
to trust
where to go
and why
breathes unrest

bring on the hate
bring on the famine
children
are they to be raised
or forgotten
the gift of love
all of a sudden
everyones enemy
number one

children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
travelling through a holy land
still they don`t stand a chance
children of a lesser world

the smoke is nowhere near to clear
do you remember where you left from
do you know where you`re going

children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
travelling through a holy land
still they don`t stand a chance
children of a lesser world

the smoke is nowhere near to clear
do you remember where you left from
do you know where you`re going

children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
travelling through a holy land
still they don`t stand a chance
children of a lesser world

children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
children of a lesser world
travelling through a holy land
still they don`t stand a chance
children of a lesser world

La Jolla(Arnold Melleby, 07.30.2020)

alive
but unwell
gettin` ready
to break the spell

music
to the sound
of a broken guitar
don`t sound too swell

code none
ruined it all
code none
ruined it all

La Jolla
La Jolla
La Jolla
where it started
La Jolla
where it found an end

I can feel the pressure
wearing off fast
I can feel the tention
all but last

La Jolla
La Jolla
La Jolla
where it started
La Jolla
where it found an end

alive
but unwell
gettin` ready
to break the spell

music
to the sound
of a broken guitar
don`t sound too swell

La Jolla
La Jolla
La Jolla
where it started
La Jolla
where it found an end

La Jolla
La Jolla
La Jolla
where it started
La Jolla
where it found an end

even the toughest rocks turn to sand over time(Arnold Melleby, 07.28.2020)

hey, how are you
how`s confinement treating you
in these times of unusual challenges
is there a way
we could ever meet again

hey, common sense
how come
you`re not that common
any more
makes no sense, to me

a longtime struggle with ugliness
the little sailor boy
longed for the shore
thrown off at the sight of land
left to die with home in the corner of his eye

in the end
you can argue with time
but time won`t take
that moment with you
and even the toughest rocks
turn to sand
over time

if it comes to a point
where the lovely bees
are no more
while we were busy
making love into hate
time will cease to exist

in the end
you can argue with time
but time won`t take
that moment with you
and even the toughest rocks
turn to sand

over time
in the end
you can argue with time
but time won`t take
that moment with you
and even the toughest rocks
turn to sand
over time

mind the mind(Arnold Melleby, 07.17.2020)

a bad plan
turned into a good one
over night
where it`ll end
no one knows
unless you do

all I know
if you can`t fix it
it`ll stay broken
until the end of time

mind you
mind the mind
it`s always
got something to say

stack your shack
but keep it to yourself
you never know
when the shit hits the fan

my lips went blue
for a while
but I managed to get back
the selfies back on track

a dirty road
called life
not a path of ease
for most of us

mind you
mind the mind
it`s always
got something to say

a silent voice
is crying out tonight
a silent voice
is silent no more

mind you
mind the mind
it`s always
got something to say

mind the mind
