[Verse 1]
Dm G C Am
Remember when your sister packed a bag and ran away.
Dm G C Am
She said if you kept quiet, she'd be back for you someday.
F G Am
But you missed her, so you told Grandma Marie,
Bb F C Bb F C
who giggled as she poured you out a mug of thick and sour rosy tea.
[Verse 2]
Dm G C Am
Remember how you watched the horses chase her through the woods.
Dm G C Am
Riderless and pale, they drove her all the way back home.
F G Am
And Mama tied her so she couldn't see,
Bb F C Bb F C
and everyone in town gathered around that blackened nasty dirty tree.
[Chorus]
Bb F C
You couldn't cry, you were too young.
Bb F C
You wanted to scream but your mouth went dumb.
Bb F C Dm
And every sip you took of it made you feel more numb.
Bb C F
She had become what she was from.
[Verse 3]
Dm G C Am
Remember six years later when you finally had to run,
Dm G C Am
when her memory seemed to set upon your mind with each day's sun.
F G Am
But as you ran you saw Grandma Marie,
Bb F C Bb F C
who giggled with her finger in her ear at something that you couldn't see.
[Verse 4]
Dm G C Am
Remember her old screeching voice behind you as you flew
Dm G C Am
through the swamps and ashen husks of stumps where trees once grew.
F G Am
She screamed, “My son, you will be back in time.
Bb F C Bb F C
Your master isn't in a swamp; you cannot run from what is in your mind.”
[Chorus]
Bb F C
They were right and now you've come.
Bb F C
You want to scream but your throat's gone dumb.
Bb F C Dm
And every sip you take of it, your body becomes more numb.
Bb C F
Now you are what you are from.
Bb C F
Now you are what you are from.
