Take me back to the memories
Of the insane way that things used to be
Out of all the times I said "I'm fine"
I wasn't always wrong I was just dead
Taken, I'm led
Take from and led away from home
And I was held back from the chance
To do my own
Severed
Tell me why it has to be
Living deep inside it eats away at me
Now I know it remains, it always speaks my name
Why does it have to feel like I was raped
Severed
I wait for you, come to me
Hate fills the hole inside
Now that I know how to hold this ground
Maybe I won't have to be so led
