She's not unprepared, She's gotta figure out what to wear To leave her house and do nothing High heels struttin' down the avenue, she's gotta figure out what to do To give this life a little more purpose And all the boys stop and tell her she's beautiful, but that's all they really wanna know As she's rifling through every little piece of her life She tries to get it off her mind, but love songs play all the time And all they seem to do is remind her of better days Things are changing and she don't know why She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie I'm comfortable with my memory, I let it drift out to sea To catch a glimpse of it from the shoreline They're sittin' up on their high horse, moving with such unstoppable force The money's pouring in like a landslide And all the men stop and tell she's pretty, 'whatcha doin' on this side of the city?' She never knew what it meant to be rescued I'm comfortable layin' in my bed, letting these thoughts fill up my head And find another fault I can fix until I'm new again Things are changing and she don't know why She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie I'm not gonna follow you home (Cause it's not where I belong) I'm not gonna follow you home I'm taking a walk outside (Cause I got to clear my mind) I'm not gonna follow you home World is changing and she don't know why She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie

I can do this with my eyes closed You can sink into my heartbeat, tonight There's a real situation It's kinda written like a story out loud Guess I didn't really need that anyway Guess I didn't really need that anyway I've been dusting on the sidelines Every fingerprint I find belongs to me Just need a little motivation Try and work a little magic on you Guess I didn't really need that anyway Guess I didn't really need that anyway They don't know the happy ending They claim it in your name For a price To keep the faith alive They don't know what they're missing They'd die to feel it Feel alive, feel alright Guess I didn't really need that anyway Guess I didn't really need that anyway Everything you need is done I found out what's been making me ill But it's just not the time or the place

about

A collection of my solo songs that have piled up over the years. I'll be randomly adding songs to this as the months go by until I feel it's a good enough body of work to call it an 'album'.
