Origins

[Verse 1]
We've been keeping tabs on our history
Cutting little twigs off our family tree
To figure out where we come from
All the people that share our blood

[Verse 2]
My uncle Jimmy James told an anecdote
I can't tell if it was a funny joke
It made my daddy laugh
I wish I took a photogram

[Chorus]
We're torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings

[Verse 3]
We've been keeping tabs on our history
Studying up on our ancestry
To figure out where we come from
All the people that share our blood

[Verse 4]
It don't get no easier
To figure out who we are
La da da laddy laddy da
La la la ai da

[Verse 5]
That's what we say when we get here
And then when we are leaving here
But it don't get no easier
To figure out who we are

[Chorus]
We're torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings

We're torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings
