THE SONIC REVOLUTION: Power Failure - Lyrics   POWER FAILURE These days, it's always something There is no shortage of things To get under my skin If you don't understand my anger Then I just don't know what to tell ya Maybe you should listen a little closer   I warn ya, the sky is falling And if you hide your eyes It won't make it less true If you can't comprehend my methods Then you don't understand the madness I'm just trying to turn on a light   Face it, this darkness Is just another power failure Face it and change it You can't believe it till you see it So open your eyes   Sometimes I tell myself that It's always darkest Just before the coming dawn But I know that's wishful thinking And my hope continues sinking This is a calm before another storm     FOLLOW THE MONEY Brave men falling Profits soaring Why would they want it to end?   They'd do anything for a dollar Steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes You know they'd sell their mothers And any price is right   Bullets flying Stock price rising The bottom line is what they defend   Gotta bow to Gold Almighty Thank God for war and death Let's keep our children fighting Until there's nothing left   Mothers crying War pigs lying Why don't they have sons they can send?   High atop their ivory towers They call them casualties Down in the streets of cities We call them family   There is a river flowing Blood red, I'm following That river leads from red to green Follow the money   There is a river flowing Blood red, I'm following It leads right back to our greed You've got to follow the money     A DAY IN THE LIFE I woke up late Tuesday morning, Just in time to see the end In the blink of an eye Something died inside And it was barely ten a.m.   I got a long way to go, man   I checked the latest count this morning Now there's twenty-three hundred dead It just doesn't seem right But these are "interesting times" And they aren't over yet   It's not even close, man   It's only a day in the life   Yesterday we lost New Orleans It's a nightmare in my head And it don't go away At the end of the day 'Cause some days never end   It's been a hard day's night   And it's only a day in the life It's only a day in my life   I try to ignore the warnings But here they come again I got a feeling inside That we're running out of time And it's not "if" it's only "when"   Here it comes again, now.   It's only a day in the life It's only a day in my life     DRAMA She's lived a hard luck story And wears it on her sleeve She saves her worst tales for me Some I even believe   She's a fight waiting to happen Every night's an adventure But she steals my heart Every time she makes it beat faster   Our nights turn into nightmares Our days end up in tears Deep down that's how she likes it Afraid to lose her fear   Somewhere beneath it all I think I'll find where she went wrong And so I keep on singing Even though she'd hate this song   Black on black and dark on shadow Wants to be a vampire She's strange, but I love her More violent than Tarantino Wants to live in film noir Her name is Drama   Every night she tries so hard To hide her scars away Hide 'em all away, hide 'em far away But I know she's crying Behind her mask she begs Take away my pain Take it all away, take away the pain   She's lived a hard luck story And wears it on her sleeve She saves her worst tales for me Most of them, I believe   She took a gothic story And passed it on to me Now that I live inside it It's darker than it seemed   NEVER AGAIN Lord knows, I've sang this song before But now I'm back for more I just can't hide   Lord knows, it's all inside my head I say 'never again' but it's a lie   Running on ice, chasing my tail Riding off the rails till I'm lost   Here goes, I feel the pull again I'm standing on the ledge Ready to fly   The world turns, I start to feel the burn I know I'll never learn or find out why   Running on ice, chasing my tail Riding off the rails Turning circles, spinning my wheels Losing never fails   I've fallen, I'm callin' But you're never gonna see me crawling I'm screaming, I need it But you're never gonna See me bleed again   Lord knows, I've walked this road before I end up at your door every time   A long night and then another wasted day I'll never get away until I die     FOR THE HELL OF IT Sometimes You've got to leap before you look Some days You've got to throw away the book   Why wait for tomorrow When we can ride today? Waiting for perfection We let the moment slip away   Throw caution to the wind to learn to fly Let madness sink in or lose your mind Fighting through paralysis From way too much analysis The only reason I need now is Just for the hell of it   My life Going by me way too fast My days Each one's shorter than the last   Where did all the time go? It seemed like yesterday I'll be damned if I know And it doesn't matter anyway   Been bought, been sold A slave to time You can't steal what you own And these days are mine   I had a bad case of paralysis Brought on by this analysis The only reason I need now it Just for the hell of it   Going where the wind blows Acting before I know Jumping to conclusions Sometimes it's just the only way To reach a resolution     THREAD I can hear it coming Rumbling down the tracks again That light at the end of the tunnel Was never brighter   Waiting for the curtain's fall For them breaking down my door The straightjacket around my mind Is getting tighter   I can feel my heart is racing When I hear the footsteps chasing See them closing in around me But I'm running away I can feel they're right behind me But I fear they live inside me Wherever I am, they can find me But I'm running away   Feel I'm losing balance One nation under surveillance The light of my hope is now A shadow of doubt And I'm slowly fading   Trying hard to hide my tracks While I'm listening for the wiretap Don't want to look behind 'Cause someone might be gaining   All that I have left inside of my head A million pounds of suspicion All hanging by a thread   All that I have left inside of my head Every ounce of sanity All hanging by a thread   TO SEE THE INVISIBLE MAN I'm falling apart again Disappearing right before your eyes No one's heard a word I've said Sometimes I wonder why I even try   I'm an invisible man Just trying as hard as I can To get you to see the things That are burning inside me   I know you can't understand But I just can't change who I am I'm either invisible Or you just refuse to see   My rope's reached its end again Dangling on the edge of the absurd My words all hang by a thread And when the silence breaks they fall unheard   I'm an invisible man Just trying as hard as I can To get you to see the things That are burning inside me   I know you can't understand But I'll never change who I am So I'll be invisible Until you learn to see   I've been floating Left unspoken Because I see you can't hear me I'm sometimes stronger A ghost no longer But then I see you look through me   I'm an invisible man Just trying as hard as I can To get you to see these things That are burning inside me   I know you'll never understand But I just can't change who I am So I'll be invisible Until I teach you to see   What's inside of me . . .     ALONE Divide, isolate The same soul but we can't relate When will we find our common ground? Too close, disengage And so we run away There's nothing left here to be found   Alone, I'm not alone but I feel alone Alone, one heart, one soul Alone, we're not alone but we feel alone Alone, one heart, one soul   Reach out, pull away It's like touching the razor blade Why do we hide behind the walls? Little time but not too late We're so close to the burning flame Touch me before the final call   Anger, fear and hate What we perpetuate When we listen to brainwashed minds Submit or dominate Is there another way? Another path for us to find?     END OF DAYS This is the way the world ends: with applause. This is the way my heart mends: with a cause. This is the way a dream dies: all alone. This is the reason I try: it's all I know.   This is the way the world ends: no trial. This is the way we pretend: with a smile. This is the way our time flies: we look away. This is the way we hasten the end of days.   Searching for an answer, Questions coming faster Another day, another doubt Sometimes I'd settle for a way out Never any reason, nothing to believe in But if today comes and goes I'll try to know tomorrow But if today fails to show I'll try to know tomorrow Where is there left to go When you know there's no tomorrow?   This is the way the world ends.     IN THIS TOGETHER You've spent a long time looking for halos I spent the same time searching for souls It seems we're both just looking for heroes You look above while I look below   I'm looking for connection While you create division   Two thousand years and still no salvation Never a doubt that you could be wrong I see your footprints in our destruction You cry the tears that rain on us all   That old time religion, it's our superstition Everybody, everywhere The same sky, the same air Here and now and now or never Whatever this is, we're in this together   Looking around once more for the record Screaming my heart out till my voice is gone Still I believe that we can move forward Though I may never see that day come   Searching for connection, We settle for division That old time religion, it's our superstition We abandon reason When it's what we're needing   Everybody, everywhere The same sky, the same air Here and now and now or never Whatever this is we're in this together   My dreams, don't tell me that they can wait 'Cause tomorrow may be too late Too late for us all   Our dreams, the farther they are away The heavier is the weight The weight of our souls   Some days I know exactly what karma means All the sins that we're carrying On our collective shoulders   If we could forget all the things they teach Let our senses inform belief We could carry it all   But it seems There's a thought just beyond our reach There's a truth we refuse to see An ignored, unheard call   Every one of us knows the way We have the keys to unlock our chains And to tear down the walls   Tear down the walls   We're in this together
