You turn yourself into a hero
And then you turn yourself into a story
Thats just how it works
Then you give it to your friends and family
Then they pass it down to their children
And thats just where you end
But theres just one way
To know the ones who knew
But theres just one way
To know, to know
I wont wait for your shadow to come
Just to take me away
To the ground where you came from
I wont 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 theres just one way
To know the ones who knew
Theres just one way
To know, to know
I wont wait for your shadow to come
Just to take me away
To the ground where you came from
I wont wait for your shadow to come
Just to take me away
To the ground where you came from
