in the hole(Arnold Melleby, 02.26.2024)

feel me

I can`t feel you

where am I

where the hell are you

growling on a Frank Sinatra tune

selling out without getting paid

and definitely not getting laid

sheets burned and woman gone

laying you to rest

in nothing but charcoal 

arms burning 

as you lay your head

to rest

on burning coal

it`s allright

it`s allright

it`s hellish allright

see me 

I can`t see you

where am I

and where the hell are you

alrighty then

alrighty then

alrighty then

I dismiss

your abyss

you`re in the hole

feel me

I can`t feel you

where am I

where the hell are you

see me 

I can`t see you

where am I

and where the hell are you

in the hole 

in the hole 

in the hole 

in the hole 

in the hole 

kiitos, baby(Arnold Melleby, 02.24.2024)

kiitos baby

there`s no reason to hide

to hide

don`t know where to begin

don`t know where it`ll end

but there you are 

whenever I look your way

I can feel the rhythm of your soul

wherever I go

I can feel the rhythm of your soul

wherever I don`t 

kiistos, baby

for being the one

kiitos, baby

for being the one 

I cannot reach

for being the one

I cannot teach

how to get to me

kiitos baby

there`s no reason to hide

to hide

kiitos baby

there`s no reason to hide

to hide

kiitos baby

for being you

goodbye to a forest(Arnold Melleby, 02.24.2024)

they cut down all the trees

at ease

thought they could move on

once they were gone

naked hills drape the horizon

so hard to put your eyes on

when you know how it used to look

and all the lives it took

hail all the birds

hail the frogs

hail the snails

hail everything that vanished 

in silence

forever

the sound of branches

grinding together in a storm

the sound of a forest coming alive

protecting itself 

protecting an entire world living between its branches

and all the way down below its roots 

reaching ground water

no matter what happens above

naked hills drape the horizon

so hard to put your eyes on

when you know how it used to look

and all the lives it took

hail all the birds

hail the frogs

hail the snails

hail everything that vanished 

in silence

forever

goodbye to a forest
