1. Superdoom

We broke our backs, so now we’ll break your egos
We always knew that this day would come
We're not here for you
We're not here for you

2. Ain't No Party Like The Donner Party

I needed time to think things through.
You took my heart and ripped it in two.
You’re only human for a while,
So why spend it in denial?

It’s not that I only loved her face,
I needed her to be a bit deeper.
With that I knew she was worth the chase,
But in the end all she was was a blur.

I needed time to think things through.
You took my heart and ripped it in two.
But you’re only human for a while,
So why spend it in denial?

You took my head and you turned it into rust.
Mislead the pure; all I ever did was help you.
Now all that’s done, and my heart returns to dust.
It’s all because you do what you do.

But you’re only human for a while,
So why spend it in denial?

I thought I had it figured out this time,
But it seems like I never really knew at all.
I thought I had it figured out this time,
But I guess I never really knew at all.

I spotted you from across the room.
Our eyes locked and I had to talk to you.
I made my way across the floor,
But by the time I got there you’d started to dance.
You started to dance, so I took your hand.
I led you down a road you’d never forget.
It seems so right but it looks like I played the fool,
And that I’ll always regret.

3. Chugs Ahoy

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to turn back.

Why can’t you see
(This bitter existence, just throw it all away.)
What you’re doing to me?
(Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me?)

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to
Turn back and let this all fall through,
Because you never knew
How much I wanted to believe in you, believe in you.

I won’t let you hold me back anymore.
I can’t let you hold me back anymore.

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to
Turn back and let this all fall through,
Because you never knew
How much I wanted to believe in you, believe in you, believe in you.

I see you destroying my self-confidence
With a single glance,
But this was not my intention and I never imagined
That it’d come to this.

You can’t go through life
Trying to change the past.
You have to move forward
And see what’s in front of you.

Sinking ships and burning bridges,
This is dead to me.
Sinking ships and burning bridges,
This is dead to me.

4. Pathways

When I was young you told me that
I’d never be what you wanted me to become.
I had my own ambitions and you saw from the start,
You saw that I would never be what you had hoped for.

I’ve always wanted to be someone you could be proud of.
You saw that I would never be what you had hoped for.
Well, that’s what I’ve become.

As I turn the pages of my memories,
I remember all the things you told me.
You told me to change my ways
Or you wouldn’t pleased with me.

Kicking and screaming, I cried out,
"Why won’t you let me be who I really am?"
I’ve got myself figured out inside,
But how do I tell you without you losing faith in me?

As I turn the pages of my memories,
I remember all the things you told me.
You told me to change my ways
Or you wouldn’t pleased with me.

I cried out to you in the middle of the night.
Where were you to make me feel all right?
You said to me you’d always be there,
But you were never there for me.

The pathways that I have to choose from
Won’t work for the both of us.
One to suit you, one to suit myself.
The pathway that I choose is my own.

As I turn the pages of my memories,
I remember all the things you told me.
You told me to change my ways
Or you wouldn’t pleased with me.

5. Song Five

[Instrumental]

6. Threat Level: Midnight

I’ve paid my dues and I’ve had enough.
I tried so hard, never getting anything in return.
And I wish, I wish I could change this.
What is it that I’m doing wrong?

There are so many things that I’ve wanted to say,
And I won’t stop until you’ve heard it all.
Nothing held back, nothing in reserve.
I swear that I won’t stop until you’ve heard it all.

Systematically decrypting your mind.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive
When it’s been dead since the start.
Nothing left, it’s all falling apart.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting this now.

There’s only so much I can take before
I’ll realize this will never happen.
Maybe one day you’ll see what you’re missing,
You’re missing in me.

Maybe one day you’ll open your eyes
And see just what you’ve thrown away.
Tossed aside like a piece of trash,
A relic you don’t need anymore.

Save me!
Break free!

There’s only so much I can take before
I’ll realize this will never happen.
Maybe one day you’ll see what you’re missing,
You’re missing in me, you're missing in me.

Open the door and let me see your face.
I’ve been around for so long
But I still feel out of place.
And it seems like the harder I try,
The further I fall,
And the longer I sit here
The harder it is to wait for you to call.

Open the door and let me see your face.
I’ve been around for so long
But I still feel out of place.

I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I won’t fight this anymore.

7. Never Forget (Rule #7)

I’ve been driving for hours now.
I never once thought to turn around.
I’ll drive as long as it takes
To see your darling face.
You are the one I’ve searched for,
The one I’ll beg for more.

Big hearts and teen smarts
Can make you do things you’ll regret,
But the time I spent with you
I’ll never forget.

You make me feel some sort of extraordinary.
The thought of weeks without you just seems scary.

Say it like you mean it and I’ll believe it.
I can see it your eyes, girl, how you’re feeling.
Just take my hand and never let go, let go,
And that’s how I’ll know.

You've got me but do I have you?
I wanna hear you tell me that I do.
You've got me but do I have you?
I wanna hear you tell me that I do.

So run away with me, girl, now never look back.
Just run away with me, girl.
Just take my hand and never let go,
And that's how I'll know.

It’s the little things you say and do
That make me want to be with you.
It’s the way you dance and hold me tight,
It’s the way you kiss and say goodnight.
It just makes me feel like everything’s all right.
It just makes me feel like everything’s all right.

Say it like you mean it and I’ll believe it.
I can see it your eyes, girl, how you’re feeling.
Just take my hand and never let go, let go.
And that’s how I’ll know.
