Power Outage
This song is about a marriage in which the wife is abusive. The husband had finally had enough and packed up the kids and got out of the toxic situation. Then the wife begs for them back. What happens next?... you’ll have to find that out yourself.

(Verse 1)
Tonight I wake,
To her barking at me.
Throwing a lamp shade,
Breaking many things.
She yells at the fact,
I drink every night.
With Ronnie and Zach,
And watch the bar fights.
I say honey, it’s 3 am,
You need to sleep.
You’re gonna wake up the kids,
So just don’t peep.
She starts throwing her fists,
I tell her to stop.
I say this is it,
And her knees drop.
(Pre Chorus)
Oh,
There’s a fine electric line,
Between,
Now and the way it used to be
Oh,
If only she could go back,
To the way she was...
Before the lightning struck.
(Chorus)
The power’s out again,
You know we can’t pretend.
That you and I weren’t meant.
Someday it’s got to end.
(Verse 2)
The kids and I,
We’ve gotta pack our bags.
We leave tonight.
That’s final, and no taking backs.
Carrie’s in the back,
Crying all her tears.
Ian’s next to Matt,
They both quiver with fear.
They ask me if mommy,
Is coming with us.
I tell them tomorrow,
If she overcomes this.
They ask what’s wrong,
I can’t go on.
I sit there in the car,
Crying like a baby.
(Pre Chorus)
Oh,
When the lighting struck,
It lit a fire,
Lost our desire.
Oh,
