The Kicks of Passion

Powerspace The Kicks of Passion Lyrics
1.Prologue-Adam Beckett

I found it difficult
To be a storytelling failure
For all those years
the tearing live a still my future
Repeatedly, I stared my future in the face
She walked away
Her silhouette confirming my worst predictions
She walks away
Hope is just four disconnected letters
Combined and put together
By a disconnected man who missed the point
My life was just a promise that I uttered, then I broke it
And admitted as we all went up in flames

So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth
And I would send out this faded portrait
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on

And nothing changed

And one day, someone spoke inside of me
'Young man, rise and make your mark'
So today I will be free
With no one there to see
With no one there to see
So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth
And I would send out this faded portrait
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on
So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space
Praying someday you would find it
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on

So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth
And I would send out this faded portrait
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on
So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space
Praying someday you would find it
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on
So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth
And I would send out this faded portrait
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on
So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space
Praying someday you would find it
Maybe we would all live on
We'd soar on


2.Quarantine My Heart (Baby)

We don't need a party
Just a place to meet
My mind is still racing while the city sleeps
But I don't complain
Cause I know we're okay

Race against the clock
Running on no sleep
When there's no time to rest
And there's no need to dream
Cause when you're with me
I feel like I'm dreaming

I hang out and hold on
(And count the days till I come home)
I can't brave this all alone
Quarantine my heart, baby
In someone else's arms
I feel unhealthy

How can we survive and finally live our dreams
In a world filled up with players on opposing teams?
Darling, how can I go on?
Sing me one more song
Not even an hour on the interstate
Such an unforgiving journey
An eternal wait
And I hit the cruise control
There's a swelling in my soul
It's so good
I speed up and get home
To find you again
Quarantine my heart, baby
In someone else's arms
I feel unhealthy
(So never let me go)
If I can't feel your heart beating
I might as well just write off love completely

Clogging up my mind
Gotta get it out
(Get it out)
Open my mouth and let it out
I've tried, and trust me
It's not the same with anyone but you
I swear to God it's true
Quarantine my heart, baby
In someone else's arms
I feel unhealthy
(So never let me go)
If I can't feel your heart beating
I might as well just write off love completely
Check my pulse
I think I've had too much, baby


3.Powerspace Snap Bracelet

Lightning strikes me down
I'm on my knees
I can't write it out, but I'll show you what I mean
And the words, they will drip down the side of your cheeks
And I'm able to read them when they spell out
'Let's just be friends'
Four simple words that
We keep on ignoring again and again
(As if we never even meant it)

Baby, let's leave them all for dead
All those thoughts inside your head can be reality
So let yourself believe

My life is a cross of a fire and a stampede
I burn inside, you still run after me
Yeah, we'll find out how it feels to burn alive
Oh, you and me, girl
Let's set ourselves on fire
(As if we never even meant it)
Baby, let's leave them all for dead
All those thoughts inside your head can be reality
So let yourself believe
Oh yeah, we don't care who finds out
Tonight is all that matters right now
Let's go once more down to the dance floor
Make me sell my soul for more

(Even when we fall asleep together)

(Even when we fall asleep together)
Baby, let's leave them all for dead
All those thoughts inside your head can be reality
So let yourself believe
I feel your body radiate in the lightning we create
So let yourself believe
Oh yeah, we don't care who finds out
Tonight is all that matters right now
Let's go once more down to the dance floor
Make me sell my soul for more
girl


4.Right On, Right Now

My feet are shuffling
The clouds roll in, the wind at my neck
But every day's a thunderstorm
I'm always walking back these days

I live to pass time
It makes sense in my mind
But that's not a reason
To keep this weak heart beating

And I know that this place
And these walls and this race
Will melt down in one breath
And leave it all behind me

My feet are shuffling
The clouds roll in, the wind at my neck
But every day's a thunderstorm
I'm always walking back these days
My knees are quivering
The cliff's edge so inviting, yeah
The lightning hits my chest
But the shock is so routine for me these days
You stand up and I bow
Right on, right now
I'm always hoping for some enjoyment from disappointment
I can feel the misery from some place deep inside of me

My feet are shuffling
The clouds roll in, the wind at my neck
But every day's a thunderstorm
I'm always walking back these days
My feet are shuffling
The clouds roll in, the wind at my neck
But every day's a thunderstorm
I'm always walking back these days
My knees are quivering
The cliff's edge calls me
The lightning hits my chest
But the shock is so routine for me these days
You make my bed, I'll make your day
I'll write down every word you say
And stuff it in a record sleeve
And make sure no one ever, ever finds it
Can you save me now?
Someone, somehow
Right on, right now


5.Amplifire

In your position with this hometown competition
You're away
At least that's what the magazines all say
You drive the streets
Where he let his love deplete
We're one and the same
Two suburbanites looking for someone to blame
Maybe right now you look bored enough to die
Tomorrow you'll be getting on a plane
And I don't know why
You won't be smiling on the flight home
When you know that
He left you, left you alone in limbo
So disconnect the phone
And let your sorrow stretch from here to LA
Cause you know that I'm still here
And I know it's been a hard year
And it's clear that your life is changing still
So let your smile stretch from here to LA
I know you're trying
And at night you stay up, crying
You're awake
You shut your ears and realize your mistake
The West Coast sunset
Doesn't seem like so much fun yet
Does it now?
So you climb the stairs and search for your way out
And I've never hurt you
Like the boy you called your savior
Darling, do me just one favor
Look what a mess he's made you
Chicago's just a phone call away
I'll be up all night
There doesn't seem to be a solution
That makes this right
You won't be smiling on the flight home
When you know that
He left you, left you alone in limbo
So disconnect the phone
And let your sorrow stretch from here to LA
Cause you know that I'm still here
And I know it's been a hard year
And it's clear that your life is changing still
So let your smile stretch from here to LA
You let him in
Believe your skin, oh
Baby, I know you'll survive
You may be down
But you're breathing and you're still alive
You let him in
Believe your skin, oh
Baby, you're still breathing
Baby, you're still breathing

You won't be smiling on the flight home
When you know that
He left you, left you alone in limbo
So disconnect the phone
And let your sorrow stretch from here to LA
Cause you know that I'm still here
And I know it's been a hard year
And it's clear that your life is changing still
So let your smile stretch from here to LA


6.Be Aggressive

One, two, three
Are you feeling me?
It's getting late and it's hard to see
I've got some problems
But not enough to stop me
Cause I can't stop, I can't stop
I won't stop, won't stop
can't stop until I know for sure
This night ends with me and you
(Be, be aggressive, be, be aggressive)
Be, be aggressive
B-e, be aggressive
You never know just who you're up against, so
B-e, b-e aggressive
B-e, b-e aggressive

Yeah, are you reading me?
Is it obvious what I'm trying to say?
Cause I want you bad
And you know I got it
Oh, I can't stop, I can't stop
I won't stop, won't stop
Can't stop until I know for sure
This night ends with me and you

Be, be aggressive
B-e, be aggressive
You never know just who you're up against, so
B-e, b-e aggressive
B-e, b-e aggressive
Cause you know you can't stop the thunder
Oh, I can feel the tension rising
But you know we've got it good

Who would have guessed
That tonight we'd take over the world?
B-e, be aggressive
B-e, be aggressive
You never know just who you're up against, so
B-e, b-e aggressive
B-e, b-e aggressive
Cause you know you can't stop the thunder


7.This is Not What You Had Planned

The cigarettes and phone calls don't keep me warm
But they're my only option
Short of driving home
To try and calm my nerves of this unrest
Cause nothing's worse than a vacant town, yeah
Still looking for the answers that I haven't found
With each new fact I'm learning
My mind feels like it's turning away from you
(So cut the ropes and let's go)
Train, take me away
Anywhere but here
I've had it
I just can't stand it
I'm seeing how quiet I can say your name
I whisper to no one just to keep me sane
An echo in the dark I wish was you
If I only knew how to form a sound
To convince myself you'll come around
These memories are fading
But I'm getting sick of waiting to hear from you
Train, take me away
Anywhere but here
I've had it
I just can't stand it
Please, it makes me insane
Everyday I just can't stand it
I just can't stand it

Train, take me away
Anywhere but here
I've had it
I just can't stand it
Please, it makes me insane
Everyday I just can't stand it
I just can't stand it
Please, train, take me away
Anywhere but here
I've had it
I just can't stand it
(Please, train)
I gotta get outta this town
(Please, train)
Been thinking 'bout it for too long


8.Dancing in the Future

(Oh my God, I can see into the future!)
Oh, I've been counting on this countdown, countdown
Only minutes till sundown, sundown
Do I trust the team in front of me?
Oh, can, can I stop and catch my breath, my breath?
Will this mission bring my death, my death?
Oh, can I run and catch my enemy?
Oh, I feel something waiting for me
Every time I start to breathe
Check my pulse
My vision's dimming
Catch my soul before it leaves

Lethal weapons, we're flaunting lethal weapons
(But I can't seem to hit my mark)
In the future, we're dancing in the future
(Why can't he seem to hit his mark?)
It's been so long since he's had a break, yeah
He's in the cave and he can't escape, yeah
The events I see will cause a tragedy
Oh, I, I needed you to trust me, trust me
But you think that I'm crazy, crazy
But there's just some things that you can't know
And I, I'm stopping crime with a new face, new face
Got the secrets in the briefcase, briefcase
We got a mystery
It can't get out
When I opened my eyes
I knew it was a dream
The future's not what it seems
Lethal weapons, we're flaunting lethal weapons
(But I can't seem to hit my mark)
In the future, we're dancing in the future
(Why can't he seem to hit his mark?)
It's been so long since he's had a break, yeah
He's in the cave and he can't escape, yeah
I'm just a man who can't be stopped
Baby, that's me
People say that there is no way out
(What's in the briefcase?)
Hold your breath
Keep the words in your mouth
(What's in the briefcase?)
Don't let the secrets out
They'll set you free

Lethal weapons, we're flaunting lethal weapons
(But I can't seem to hit my mark)
In the future, we're dancing in the future
(Why can't he seem to hit his mark?)
Lethal weapons, we're flaunting lethal weapons
(But I can't seem to hit my mark)
In the future, we're dancing in the future
(Why can't he seem to hit his mark?)
In the future, we're dancing in the future


9.Choose Your Own Adventure

I want a box around myself
So they can put me on the shelf
To see the way I live
But the holes are blocked
By everybody else inside
As far as I can tell
They're all living well
Living better, still
Oh, that's the way it is
Climbing up the corporate ladder
Trying to escape through the roof
Can you explain lives led in vain?
It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

It's not a problem, it's hell
We only do what people tell
But can you tell me, anyone
The consequences of setting someone free?
Can you explain lives led in vain?
It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

Have you ever felt the pinch
When you life's confined?
Well, get your ass in line
It's hard not to care what they say
I'd like to think we'll break away
I don't believe that growing up
Means cashing out and giving up

Can you explain lives led in vain?
It seems like everybody's looking for their way out

This box contains just one thing
The fact that I will probably never find a way

Can't you help me fade out?

You know that everybody's looking for their way out


10.It Smells Like Electricity In Here

Pick me up, I'm ready
And take me down, downtown
Down the underground
Shaking, can't get steady
Baby, calm me down
Calm me down

(This addiction knocks upon my door)
This addiction is knocking upon my door
I crawled back to you, sweating through my clothes
Pick me up, I'm ready
And take me down, downtown
Down the underground
Shaking, can't get steady
Baby, calm me down
Calm me down
Sing along with me
Electricity is running through our feet
Every time we meet
Look out, look out, look out, look out
When these two get together
Tonight, tonight, look out tonight
This night goes on forever
I made a promise to myself that I'd clean up
But every time I get a taste, I can't get enough
And now I'm on my knees
(And I smell electricity)
Sing along with me
Electricity is running through our feet
Every time we meet
Look out, look out, look out, look out
When these two get together
Tonight, tonight, look out tonight
This night goes on forever
Look out, look out, look out, look out
When these two get together
Tonight, tonight, look out tonight
This night goes on forever

Tonight, tonight, look out tonight


11.I Met My Best Friend in Prague

Look at where you've got yourself now
You think the world is trying to bring you down
You think that moving on
Means getting passed around
But every move you make
Just takes you further down

These are simple times
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in

So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes

I can't help thinking so much about
How such a girl could dig a hole so deep
You can't find a way to get out
I'm not a helping hand
I'm a rope to pull you through
Just give me, give one more chance
To turn you back to you

Take this feeble mind
And mold it into something better
And help me realize that I won't live forever
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in

So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes

You're not here
Every night is a nightmare

So look at me now
The spark in my eyes is gone, somehow
I wish I could stand up and turn around
And let you see my eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes


12.Sleep, Everyone

With so little sleep
At least you'd think I'd find some peace in my dreams
In my dreams
But my mind still winds up on the same thing
The same scene
The same themes
Cause it's all stuck in my subconscious
Built up from every day
So I'm stuck with these nightmares
Where you're gone and so far away
And when I wake up
I realize that everything's still wrong
I'm still here and you're still gone
It's not fair
Cause either way I spin it
Separation seems so wrong
These breaks are far too long for me

Hours and hours
I'm stuck inside this place and this town
And you're gone
Far away, you're fighting for your life all alone
I want to wake up and go home
Cause it's all stuck in my subconscious
Built up from every day
So I'm stuck with these nightmares
Where you're gone and far away
Oh, this tortures me so much that
I get sick and I throw up
In my dream and here on my bed
It's messed up how it's all in my head
Yet it's affecting me oh so bad
I guess this distance just makes me sick
Cause when I wake up
It's 4 AM and I'm still all alone
Your message on my phone
Don't tell me that sleeping through the night
Is never this hard when you're home
Cause I already know
Cause I already know
wake me
