the demon head(Arnold Melleby, 12.29.21)

the demon head

screaming hello spaceboy

although I am not

an object of sexual desire

I guess I am

or at least was

at some point in time


well, it`s back

and I guess I am too

the silence was killing me


hello, hello, hello

hello

I am back

but I won`t be back for another run

any time soon

please, run away from me

before you implode


well, it`s back

and I guess I am too

the silence was killing me


the demon head

left the shore without a cause

it don`t matter to no one

left the ground and the air to breathe

the demon head left no trace


hello spaceboy

where you at

hello spaceboy

that b-b-b Bowie

you will never

be


the demon head

screaming hello spaceboy

although I am not

an object of sexual desire

I guess I am

or at least was

at some point in time


well, it`s back

and I guess I am too

the silence was killing me

to shine on through(Arnold Melleby, 06.27.2021)

 it`s midnight

and I don`t have a slightest clue

where I`m at or where I`ve been

but, at least I know what time it is

it`s time to get outta here

wherever I may be


whenever I`m tired

I seem to feel awake

even if I`m pure as a glazier spring

I feel as dirty as a muddy old river

you wanna be like me

I don`t think so

get outta my way


moody 

if I`m in the mood

travelling

if I find myself on an airplane

and amorous as a honey bee

if I don`t get stung


as far as spelling 

the ultimate four letter word

mine`s more often spelled starting with an `h`

and ending with a double `l`


come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through


mornings after

I can still smell the smoke

and see the first flame

through the ember of it all


come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

honey, where are the bees(Arnold Melleby, 06.19.2021)

if there`s a picture to be taken

it will be

taken

if there`s a longing for another tomorrow

there will be another

tomorrow


as the butterfly makes another attemp

to land

followed by yet another flyover

before it finally succeeds

and makes landfall

descending deep into your

soul


then there was en early morning

time to write the ultimate will

the will of the unwilling

the scene is set

but the audience stays clear


honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test


I know so well

the difference

between heaven and hell

I know so well

I have a story to tell

somewhere between 

darkness and light

there`s a red line


honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test


honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test


of time

divine angel of blood and desire(Arnold Melleby, 06.06.2021)

a diamond soul

lost in your karma

trying to make a right

but, according to you

always turn wrong


turns out

you slept through it all

you always told me

you`d throw in 

the sadness for free

and guess what you did


you have a right 

to keep up your decibel

and anything you say or do

will ever be held against you

fallen angel

how much further

will you fall


I used to follow you around

like the little kitten

that I am

when I am allowed

although I prefer, as you know

to be in charge


divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire


looking around

there are no traces

nothing in the dark

reminding me of the light

you may have left behind


a frozen skull

left beside a trail

in my forrest of redemtion

I had to take the walk

I had to do the talk

I had to smell the past 

I had to stand tall


divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire


divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire


blood and desire

what else is there

princess die(Arnold Melleby, 02.20.2021)

she had a sweet look

and a murderous smile

but, she was a just a lovely dwarf

roaming an unknown mountain side

before the vulchers took her aside


I bid you my juicy amen

while I watched your shadow

run away through the halls of my soul

with my DNA between your burning thighs

leaving a hole never to be filled, ever again


I swear I have scars

that you cant see

I swear you have lies

that money can buy

how much was your goodbye


you pollinated my brain and here I am

running out on emty fields

where nothing is to be seen

where nothing is to be touched

where nothing is to be felt


we were so close 

yet, we could only be torn apart

princess die


king of the castle

you put it on fire, but vanished

leaving me

to put it out

wondering about your whereabouts


what kind of whore

did you think I was

some kind of bore

that just washed up on a shore

waving a white flag


we were so close 

yet we could only be torn apart

princess die

we were so close 

yet we could only be torn apart

princess die


princess die

princess die

princess die


was it really worth

dying for

princess die

cardinal sin(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2021)

 just like the city

the city without angels

it`s the thunder

that makes me speak

in spite of the lack of rain

there`s still pain 


so, give me a story

that I`ll remember

for the rest of my life

sign it with sleazy

leather tongue

just to seal the deal


you surfed down a landslide of mud

into my life

too many moons ago

but you sure as hell

made it worth remembering

even for an emty scull


just like you once said

you`re better off wandering 

to a destination unknown

than wandering off

into the nothingness

of a future without a past







you can`t steal the heart of Texas(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2021)

halos over heads 

where to trade tails again

I don`t know

the winds will keep on blowing

anyway


the sun`s shining

but you can`t let her touch you

the moon`s shining too

she`s off as well

gotta stay inside 


these times

teaching the world a lesson

freedom ain`t free

and will never be

unless you know how to live it


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas


she`ll help you reach

but you gotta grab it yourself

looking to your left

there`s always a right

just like Texas 

she`ll always be there

for you


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas


she`ll help you reach

but you gotta grab it yourself

looking to your left

there`s always a right

just like Texas 

she`ll always be there

for you


no matter what happens

and no matter what doesn`t

you can`t steel the heart of Texas

the lone wolf and the smitherined(Arnold Melleby, 01.09.2021)

the lone wolf used to fly an airplane

granted by his followers below

who threw money on a shadow

turning tricks to please a crowd

to a vision doomed 

and a tail trailed with rivers 

too deep to cross


it all had to come to an end

as evil aimed and pulled the trigger

what happened next

history will tell the ones

the come after us

the story of a broken cowboy

with no horse to ride


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


sing hallelujah for sanity

sing hallelujah against the insanity

that covered the land like a plague

a turkey flying low

defeathered and bewildered 

it just couldn`t end any other way


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


the lone wolf and the smitherined

had nowhere else to go

but what a show they put on

although no one asked them to

they had it going

for too long


the lone wolf and the smitherined 

will never fly again
