Elysian Fields

Barely Recognize You

Elysian Fields


Barely recognize you

Feel like I waited forever for you to arrive 
You look too long perhaps you lost your drive 
You were touched by too many hands 
Why'd you get soft, I don't understand 

They made you apologize 
I can barely recognize you 
You know death should inspire you 
You let his love paralyze you 

You followed their flags 
Now you're flapping in the rain 
You took the main drag, denying the coarse terrain 
You were once a firebrand 
How'd you burn out, I can't understand 

They made you apologize 
I can barely recognize you 
Let his love paralyze you 
You know death should inspire you 
You let his love paralyze you 

You brought me liberation 
Fought the contamination 
You left a trail like Dillinger 
Then you joined the congregation 

They made you apologize 
I can barely recognize you 
Let his love paralyze you 
You know death should inspire you 
You let his love paralyze you 
You let his love paralyze you 
Let his love paralyze you 
You let his love paralyze you
