Where You Came From

Scattered Trees

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
