Lagwagon Blaze Lyrics
1.Burn

You won't find me condescending at your closed door
You won't hear how I feel. Say you've been there before
The holiday's the hardest time to fill in all the blanks
And you don't need anyone to show you those mistakes
Wrap yourself up in only math of our world
Fill up the holes in your full heart with details
For all the riddles solved and every puzzle you complete
Can't seem to find the pieces to the heart that beats
You'll master every task but always by the book
Then log it in your past with risk that you once took
They left you then, they'll hurt you now
Can't get too close to you or you will cut them down And any
fool can play
I'll raise the stakes with another turn We risk,
we roll and we burn At arms length you never get hit
There's too much to gamble when you let someone in
My true friend I'm spewing And only one more positive
I just might spill some notable insight I didn't think before
I purged So here I am attempting to unlock your closed door
I wouldn't break it down 'cause you'd be gone for sure
You might say something nice of me and send it in a card
Or under whiskey breath slur kind words at the bar And you're
sinking me
While you stay afloat in the tank you built We drop, we'll never
learn


2.E Dagger

Come on E; it's just a party Let's go to party town
Then we can party down Come on E; Check out my funny hat
My name is Randal I wrote you this song
Can't you see that all we need is one night to release?
It's bound to be the last in all of its glory
Come on E; raise your glass to the sky Drink to the song that
plays,
Olden days, whatever I just want to get Randical Don't be a
bummer
Look at this summer day. The sun is rising once again. Yeah!
Can't we have just one night without all this self-destruction?
I just love my husband. I can't live without him Come on E;
we're goin easy It 's just a party Time to get gnarly Come on E;
try to go easy My name is Randal It's nice to meet you
We are always here to make you laugh


3.Dancing The Collapse

Already here now, already done Combine and collapse. Dancing
with none
White is for "so dumb" Blue is for "numb" Yellow the streaks on
their backs.
They all step in line I'm just a rug... Under the foot prints of
strangers
All I need, all I know This one's for Jimmy and two more for me
It's something you sell to your self It absolves you of your
role
Accidental...
Pardoned the repeat offenders toll
They missed the last week's wake It's cold Find yourself here
now.
Dance the collapse Those aging children, they all know the steps
I'm just a bug Under the rug Under the reap Absent Under the
gray
Under the grief Absent Under the myth Under the meek Absent
Under courage Under caring Absent Understudy Understudy
Absent Understudy Understudy Absent


4.I Must Be Hateful

I can't make the damn phone ring It's simply pathetic if I call
you anymore
I can't figure it now We tallied our scores I got knocked out
I know when you come to town
I know where you drop your dime and whom it's for
I'm not good enough to time your cup of coffee 15 years...
was long enough Look at me.
I'm an old colleague Another hard knocks day acquaintance
Finally you are free of me
It must be true or you'd give a minute
But it's always my fault Always it's your forgiveness
This unbalanced resolve I must be hateful
So I hang up the phone Call it a small sacrifice
You still hear me now Dear you, the vinyl it was blue
Stalking poor Blake commiserating drunks at sea
Do you remember when Jawbreaker rocked "The boat"?
I'm sure you do...and don't Look at me.
I'm an old fly buddy Just a blue coach class acquaintance
Finally you are free of me It must be true 'cause it only makes
sense
I can still see you now Pictures are in every town
I can still write it down "I must be hateful"
I can hang up the phone Even at those lofty heights
You still hear me now


5.Falling Apart

Hello, welcome to the show Thought we broke up years ago What's
up,
I just shit my pants Gambled and I lost Good times, just blew
out my knee
I've fallen and I can't get up Oh shit, I think I broke my back
Where's the wheelchair? I'm old school I'm played out
Osteoporosis,
glaucoma and neurosis The vultures circling above our balding
heads
Second verse, the same as the first I forgot the words again
Railer,
lost my inhaler Who's got a smoke for the Caper?
Hold on let me catch my breath All right,
I feel better now Take it to the bridge
I'll never be Ozzy On stage when I'm fifty
I'm gonna look like Elvis By the time I'm forty
We're already bogus We're already fading
We'll never be The Rolling Stones
I'm staying home Dementia and senility My failing muscles
atrophy
I've lost all ability Falling apart Blue hair, brown teeth
Failing livers,
defeat Maybe we will try to pull it off For another year


6.Max Says

Max says everybody's angry Max says he'll never leave his home
Max says that heaven's another place
It's there his grandparents have gone
Max has ten years on this birthday A year ago this world had
made him cry
Max sees his world through the brightness Eyes to learn Hope to
glow in the dark
And he will aim toward the sky Deep blue. The silver lined white
clouds divide
Max says everybody's nasty Says they start too many fights
Max wrote a letter to god today His god could never tell lies
Max says he's always been faithful He prays for them
Max bets they all will be saved And he will aim toward the sky
Deep blue.
The silver lined white clouds so divine
But Max won't get what he asked for Not here.
Not now In the end we will leave him a pile
Mountains of anguish assured for his climb
And Max inherits his birthright Inbred. Inborn


7.Billy Club

Billy Club has got his strength It places him above them
The feeble incompletes Billy Club has found his pride
He looks down on their state The verdict justified
It's self-defense It's vigilance It's nature's call
Oppose them all The lesser ones are The vital threat
He needs them Billy Club has got his faith
He's followed every lead Set down in history
Billy Club has found his place It's comforting and cold
It's here he realized his role And here it comes That old
defense
He's consequence But he has chosen The iron grip
His Billy Club Desensitized. He's everywhere He's anyone.
He's every... Billy Club has got his strength for this world


8.Dividers

All the mirrors scream As they describe your dreams
All that they deride Until you have no allies
They depict a world where we aren't safe Without hate
An angry mob of one Author of the unstoppable will
United we must kill Here comes the faade They will inflate your
god
By default accomplice to their war But I know where I stand
Born into the geographic call
But I won't elect to let my mind fall No dividers


9.Never Stops

I'm all right Tell me you're all right Almost there Barely here
I knew that this day would have to come Wailing on the wall
Watching giants fall I know there's a message to receive
Written in debris It's meaning's hard to see
The loss of innocence Means nothing in the new world
All our hands are red Everyone is guilty now I'm all right...
Tell me you're all right Stop my eyes ...
Open wide Another idiot glued to the box Frozen to the screen
Scared to turn it off Quiet shock gives way to righteousness
Rattle on the bars Vengeance will be ours
Fanatics on their knees pray for a swift and just revenge
Become what they condemn Mirror image men Hands across America,
let's catch contact hysteria
Our flag erects from broken homes July 4 for evermore
Colors of democracy Fly from every SUV The Misspelled bumper
sticker's here
Where did all the honor students go? Numbers on the news
This time with familiar names This time on familiar ground
This reality in your back yard So the fences fall Will you
redefine them all?
Will you choose shelter or empathy? The world we share has come
too close
With borders blown from glass We collect stones and cast them
They say the party never stops But I know we cannot get off
Another idiot comes on the box Breathing privileged air
Preaching to the fair Rallying one muscle under god
Leading on the cheer
Leaning on their fears The state of ignorance means nothing to
the faithful
God is with us now They disregard the world beyond the wall


10.Dinner And A Movie

Here we go again Until one of us says when Making old mistakes
The brake lights illuminate Accidents repeat You can count on me
Crushing you in vain 'Cause I will save you You can hate me
We're so well adjusted Darlin' it's pathetic justice Find out
where
I breathe Suffocate my needs Van Gough kept his ears
But I will love you You won't save me We're so well adjusted
Darlin' it's pathetic justice It's already better than last time
I ruined another girl's life
I am a portrait of serenity and desperate need
I'll hold you here until you cannot breathe If
I break up with you You'll find someone new
So I'll choose misery And I will save you
You can hate me They'll all be disgusted
Darlin' it's poetic It's pathetic justice


11.Lullaby

Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down Pull the plug Imminent surrender
Ringing in the new Dark Age
Shut down the noise-aholics Put down the quiet-ophobics
In a daydream of peace In a calmness too brief
My lullaby is killing My lullaby be stilling
It could be such sweet silence From static from violence from...
Volume is the modern currency Everyone competing for air space
Everybody's dumb Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf
Big brother isn't watching anymore
He knows we are distracted and absorbed
Broadcasting our grief Our imagination's atrophied
We can't think If I could sing them all to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect? Every generation hates the next
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death
I'll put them to sleep Save them from progressive misery
I'm counting If I could sing myself to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect? My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling Memorized. Involuntary
I think I can change the world


12.Billionaire

Breaking down in surround Alarms are deafening
Alone in immersion Drowning in the dream
Billions in the shadow Of one you won't deceive
All we know is failure All we have is us How can
I forgive you? For breaking our last trust Billions of
sincerities
And one you will believe You have to honor me
Our lives are incomplete Without our honesty
Our honesty Breaking down the numbers Eliminate the waste
Nothing's ever perfect Forget about disgrace
Fuck the purist. Fuck the tourist Fuck the bourgeoisie
You have to honor me I have to honor you
Our lives are incomplete Without our honesty
My life is incomplete Without our honesty Honesty


13.Tomorrow Is Heartbreak

Bitter X it must feel better Holding that grudge
It's a feeling so familiar Not unlike love
Unrequited she's scarred in hatred Yesterday's moving
It's easier to locate A better nest
Tell them you never lived in such a mess
Emily at her best in black Reminds them all to stand back
At a distance they won't notice the act
All that she lacks You can see up close she's bitter
Remembering wasted dinners Can't expect the creep to stay long
But he's not the one who pissed her off Today is denial
It's easier if she won't
See him again He's just another trip best forgotten
Emily may be odd But she always gets even It's not unlike love
Emily will find him again Another short-term boyfriend Emily,
So bitter X I'm sorry Sorry I bit that hook
I'm just a bad clich in your black book


14.Baggage

Stand by... Stand by... All that we've been thru
All we can't undo I'm picking out the songs to set the mood
They'll play them at a funeral for you I have been the only
friend
I have stayed until the end I'm telling you my brother
I am through It's a measure of pity That I won't carry...
I won't carry It's a matter of duty But I won't carry...
I won't carry you Most of us have our secrets
One deep-rooted mark we can't remove
I'm guessing yours still owns you
I can't dig mine up to bury you I have been the only friend
I have stayed until the end I'm telling you my brother
I am thru I will lie with the guilty But I won't carry...
I won't carry... It's a measure of bad dreams
But I won't carry... I won't carry you
