The Piper

(Melanie Thompson)

We all have done things we regret. Things that hurt others. Things that hurt us. I know I have. And for each bad thing, I have paid dearly. I have paid the Piper many times over. In fact, if I had a penny for every time that blood-sucking gangster came knocking at my door he would end up owing me. We can't run from the Piper. We can't hide from the Piper. He is a necessary evil. Or a necessary good? Maybe, he is simply justice. This song may seem dark, but it really isn't. When I wrote this song, I was thinking about how better off we all are when we take responsibility for our actions. That may sound nostalgic, but I believe it. And I hope you do to. My advice when you see the Piper. Just pay the man and move on.

Verse1. You lied to me. 
 And I got proof. 
 But I fell for it. 
 So, I can't blame you. 
 Yea, I jumped right in 
 with both my boots. 

 Now I'm knee-deep in it. 
 Anyway, you spin it. 
 I'm doomed.

Chorus. Psst! Boom!
 Made another bad move. 
 I'm about to get screwed. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper. 

 Psst! Boom! 
 Even if I wanted to. 
 Can't go back and undo. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper.

Verse 2. We both agree 
 that life's unfair. 
 Point a finger at you? 
 No. I don't dare. 
 I went along 
 cause I wanted to. 

 Didn't want to quit it. 
 Now I really get it. 
 I'm doomed.

Chorus. Psst! Boom!
 Made another bad move. 
 I'm about to get screwed. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper. 

 Psst! Boom! 
 Even if I wanted to. 
 Can't go back and undo. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper.

Bridge. That flute playing dude 
 don't care about you. 
 All that he wants 
 he gets. 

 We danced to his tune 
 in this very room. 
 Or did you completely 
 forget. 

 He don't take no cards, 
 no digital bars. 
 Your credit's no good 
 with him. 

 Just blood, sweat and tears,
 nightmares and fears. 
 He'll snatch you right out 
 your skin.

Chorus. Psst! Boom!
 Made another bad move. 
 I'm about to get screwed. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper. 

 Psst! Boom! 
 Even if I wanted to. 
 Can't go back and undo. 
 Here comes the Piper. 
 Here comes the Piper.

Being Human

By Melanie Thompson

Today, it seems like a majority of people are insistent that they are "little gods" or have the powers of "the gods". Myself, I never wanted to be a "god". I never wanted superpowers either. I have my five senses given to me, to you, to us, from God. They are enough. We human beings are quite remarkable just the way we are. Sure, there is always room for improvement. But just look at us. How far we have come. The way we have seemed to survive against all the odds. If you are one of those who wish to be as great as God or better. I hope this song will change your mind. I hope you see just how great you already are. And I hope you understand and believe in your heart that it is O.K. to be human.

Pick and Choose

By Melanie Thompson

When I wrote this song I was thinking about Frank Sinatra and that 50's swing style he mastered. I thought to myself, "What would Frank say if he found out that the woman he loved was cheating on him?". The genders were swithched. And, of course, some phrases. But, the sentiment, the message in the song sounds like him. At least, that was my goal. Sinatra was/is one of the greats. He would never allow anyone to disrespect him. Snap his fingers and you were gone. If he wanted you to "Pick and Choose" you did it. Just be glad he gave you until, "The end of the day". For Frank Sinatra.

The Tailor of My Life

By Melanie Thompson

I have learned that peace and happiness in this world are not so easily obtained. It takes effort and skill to manage life's daily stresses. It takes focus and determination to bring about success. Work, work, work and then work some more. Work on yourself. Work to become a better person. Work until you have accomplished your goals. These lyrics are about occupation. Rather, occupying yourself until you have become exactly what you wanted to be.

Psycho Girlfriend

By Melanie Thompson

Everyone on earth has a soulmate. A lover created especially for them. But I'm skeptical. I just don't believe it. I think more so than not, we often pair up with the wrong person. We start off loving them but, end up hating them. I wrote this song from experience. And many of you, admit it or not, can relate.

The right time

By Rihab Forsi

Sometimes it’s just not the right time for a romance to take place, some people split apart, not because of a fight or a big problem, some just lose each other because they haven’t met at the right time, and the question remains, would they pull it off if they met in a different time and different circumstances? Or is it just not meant to be? The song describes the feeling of a broken heart who has been through this situation.

What’s this

By Ivan Hart

A Song to inspire right thinking. To encourage us that some dreams are pie in the sky, foundationless castles and they can spend a lifetime to attain and then become your greatest disaster. Take some time and question those dreams.
