13. Distant Severed Memories.
 
He took you
 he took you today.
 Now this neighborhood, misunderstood
 is plain.
 You were meant to leave
 but bent to stay.
 I had it all,
 then it all just slipped away.
 and the sky has painted pictures in my mind
 of moving colors shifting side to side
 a distant severed memory
 the present's here and what’s to be
 but the past it is never far behind.
 la la la la la la la la la la.
 (lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie)
 He blamed us
 he blamed us for your bonds
 the ropes that tied your arm bones into knots
 unbreakable, as if no one ever thought
 that we'd be the puppeteer that had you caught.
 And the rain has painted pictures in my head,
 of moving water drops upon the window above your bed.
 A distant severed memory,
 the presents here and what's to be.
 But our past mistakes are never far behind.
 la la la la la la la la la la.
 (lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie)
 He made you
 he made you be this way.
 A blank stare in the distance without anything to say.
 Are you just resisting
 or am I not existing.
 Perhaps you wish that it could be that way.
 And the light has painted pictures on my walls
 of illumination after darkness comes and falls.
 A distant severed memory
 the presents here and what's to be
 but our past mistakes are never far behind.
 la la la la la la la la la la.
 (lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie)(2x)
