Recognize Lyrics - Closer - Better Than Ezra

First thing I remember was lying in the sand 

When a plague of seven horsemen 

Came across the desert land 

They had one good eye between them 

They were burning up the sky 

When I asked why they had come for me 

The ugly one replied he told me 

Ah, you better recognize 

Ah, you better recognize, son 

Next thing I recall well I was hanging from a cliff 

When an angel came to rescue me and held me in her grip 

She said, "Everyone who's ever loved you gets hurt in the end" 

Then she smiled and said, "Forgive me" 

As she let go of my hand she told me 

(You been living out of pocket, out of your socket) 

Ah, you better recognize 

(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa) 

Ah, you better recognize, son 

(Hip-Hip for all the busted, we are entrusted) 

Ah, you better recognize 

(You come a pleading, but it's too late) 

(We can't hear you're on the list now) 

And let your dim light shine 

Always darkest before the morning light 

Lord knows you ain't that bright, better let your dim light shine 

Just before I hit the ground I woke up in my bed 

I was dazed and I was weary and my heart was full of dread 

When I looked at my reflection, I was horrified to find 

There were seven horsemen next to me 

The angel close behind, they told me 

(You been living out of pocket, out of the socket) 

Ah, you better recognize 

(You been leaning like a Pisa, a moaning Lisa) 

Ah, you better recognize, son 

(Hip hip for all the busted, we are entrusted) 

Ah, you better recognize 

(You come a pleading, but it's too late) 

(We can't hear you're on the list now) 

And let your dim light shine
