Ghost Kids

(Melanie Thompson)

Every kid wants to be a superhero. And as adults, we should help them with that dream. I grew up loving Batman and Wonder Woman. Some ADULT comic writers just want to be rich. Nothing wrong with wanting to be successful. But they fill pages and pages with pure trash. Evil things should be written about. But why make the evildoers the good guys?

Verse 1.
 I'm small and light,
 thin and quiet.
 No one has seen me 
 in months.

 My mom is large, 
 big as a barge.
 She says she hates me
 a bunch.

 Donte, her boyfriend,
 he likes to pretend 
 that I am 
 a whipping post.

 I'm under my bed.
 They've covered my head. 
 Don't they know?
 They can't cover a Ghost.

Chorus.
 Every kid's a hero.
 Not a one a zero.
 How we gonna blame them.
 We're the ones who trained them.

 Put them in a big cell.
 Beat them up till they yelled.
 Anything to get rid.
 Make another Ghost Kid.

Verse 2.
 My dad collects guns.
 He gave me one
 for my birthday.
 I'm seventeen.

 Yea, it's loaded.
 Want to hold it?
 It's OK. You can hold it. 
 Dude, you're seventeen.

 Point it at me.
 And I guarantee,
 you'll have something
 cool to post.

 I'm on the couch.
 Bobby, he ran out.
 Guess he thinks 
 he can run from a Ghost.

Chorus.
 Every kid's a hero.
 Not a one a zero.
 How we gonna blame them.
 We're the ones who trained them.

 Put them in a big cell.
 Beat them up till they yelled.
 Anything to get rid.
 Make another Ghost Kid.

Verse 3.
 I love to drive.
 I can't deny,
 on the road is where 
 I'm at ease.

 I'll never stop.
 I can lose any cop.
 I just floor it. Go for it. 
 Fly like the breeze.

 I take the curves.
 I've got more nerves.
 I am better. Much better
 than most.

 Went through the glass.
 It happened so fast.
 There's no cuts.
 Glass can't cut through a Ghost.

Chorus.
 Every kid's a hero.
 Not a one a zero.
 How we gonna blame them.
 We're the ones who trained them.

 Put them in a big cell.
 Beat them up till they yelled.
 Anything to get rid.
 Make another Ghost Kid.

Kleptomaniac Jack

By Melanie Thompson

There is always a reason why people do bad things. And it's never their own fault. Blame it on your pain. That seems to work best when you are confronted with the consequences of your action. It worked for me. Then I grew up.

Let Me Be Blunt

By Melanie Thompson

I was scrolling the internet and happened upon a video of a mother shooting, in court, the man who murdered her 7-year-old daughter Anna, after he sexually assaulted her. The look on that mother's face was breathtaking. These lyrics were inspired by that look.

Dope House

By Melanie Thompson

Bankers say real estate is a good investment. And having a mortgage improves your credit score. Wonder what they invest in? To me the whole banking system is corrupt. I wrote these lyrics with banks in mind. It's the pitch of a corrupt banker to a potential investor.

Whispers of the Cosmic Ballet

By Edward McBride

I have tried to create a dreamlike atmosphere throughout the lyrics. The connection between the individual and the cosmos is expressed --the idea of finding grace, learning to fly, and navigating life's ebbs and flows resonates with a sense of hope and resilience. In the outro, it invites the reader to join in the cosmic dance and embrace the dreams that lie within the whispers of the night

Famous

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about a relationship with a potential star, who becomes one. As the relationship goes along and the person becomes a bigger star they leave, and when they return there's always less of them that comes back. The person who isn't the star knows that the days are numbered and they will leave one day for good. The only good thing about it was that person got famous from the other. Famous for being the other one in the relationship. Even though they should have known better to get involved and stay in the relationship, they did.

Standing Here and Looking Back

By Isaac Wragg

Nostalgia is appealing, but it also has an enemy. Forgetting the last can harm us just as much as idolizing it. Finding a balance is hard, but when we do--seeing the good, the bad, and the path that led us here--we don't have to ignore or be owned by what our life used to be.
