Where You Came From

You turn yourself into a hero And then you turn yourself into a story That's just how it works Then you give it to your friends and family Then they pass it down to their children And that's just where you end But there's just one way To know the ones who knew But there's just one way To know, to know I won't wait for your shadow to come Just to take me away To the ground where you came from I won't wait for your shadow to come Just to take me away To the ground where you came from You brought yourself into sentence Then you mail it down to Chicago For your baby to read Well I did my best to read it slowly Then I read it once more for meaning And then I threw you away But there's just one way To know the ones who knew There's just one way To know, to know I won't wait for your shadow to come Just to take me away To the ground where you came from I won't wait for your shadow to come Just to take me away To the ground where you came from
