The Tailor of My Life

(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.

Vrs.1 I do what I want 
 'cause it suits me. 
 I live in my skin 
 'cause it fits me. 
 A new pair of shoes 
 won't bring me the blues. 
 Because I am the tailor of my life.

Vrs. 2 If waters run high, 
 I let the hem out. 
 Too tight for my tastes, 
 an inch or two out. 
 A tear to my heart 
 can't tear me apart. 
 Because I am the tailor of my life.

Chorus. A stitch in time can save you nine. 
 Little more effort might just save you ten.

 Don't be some nitwit knitted in a corner. 
 Weave your way out, then begin again.

 Dress yourself in your best bib and tucker.
 Buckle up. Snap to it. Zip your lip. 

 When the world wants to take you down to the cleaners, 
 eye your needle, use your skills, let it rip!

Vrs. 3 My measure is worth 
 more than I wear.
 I'm a thread hanging loose 
 and I don't care.
 All you so and so's 
 can all just go.
 Because I am the tailor of my life.

Chorus. A stitch in time can save you nine. 
 Little more effort might just save you ten.

 Don't be some nitwit knitted in a corner. 
 Weave your way out, then begin again.

 Dress yourself in your best bib and tucker.
 Buckle up. Snap to it. Zip your lip. 

 When the world wants to take you down to the cleaners, 
 eye your needle, use your skills, let it rip!

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.

She Kills Me

By Melanie Thompson

Love you to death? Til death do us part? Be careful with your words grasshopper. You may just manifest a toxic love. One that makes you wish you were dead. And if you were to die at the hands of this toxic love, how would you go? Plane crash? Drowning? These lyrics could be the thoughts of a jilted lover, begging for death no matter the manner.

Just Trust in Me

By Melanie Thompson

When we are young we want to be old. When we are old, we yearn to be young again. Adulthood does have its perks. Age brings us independence, experience and wisdom. Most of us remember being young and just wanting to cut loose. We wanted to explore the world. We wanted to receive whatever life had to offer, good or bad. These lyrics you may be familiar with, not because you've heard them before but, because you've thought them before.

Demons in the night

By Rihab Forsi

We all have been in a dark place, sometimes it takes so long that we think that we belong there. As a matter of fact, darkness and sadness is empowering to devils not humans, so we should extract what empowers us from that darkness and bring ourselves back to light. Being in the right path takes sacrifices, you should stay strong, fight every bad spirit that crosses your way. Life is a battle between good and bad, make sure you stick by the right path.
