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 can't understand
They made you aplologize
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 don't understand

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