gone , gone , gone .

what are they doing with him ? daddy , daddy . . .

lies , lies , lies .

he smiles at you , why is he smiling ? they ' re taking him away from his baby girl .

the blue woman looks like she wants to cry when she sees your battle scars . { daddy says they keep me strong . } you hold your teddy bear tighter , because it 's all bright /lights/ and blue .

{ you don ' t have to be afraid anymore . } you don ' t understand , because now is the only time you ' ve ever been s c a r e d . the woman leans down to hug you , and you tense . you ' ve never been covered in blue , you ' ve always been covered in red .

she sees you wince , and she has to wipe her eyes . { daddy never cries . i never cry . daddy says when you cry , you ' re weak .} she turns around , and you think it ' s because she doesn ' t want to be weak .

{ daddy , daddy where are they taking you ? } you ' re surprised when daddy spits on the man ' s shoe , and he slaps daddy . daddy ' s never been hurt , daddy never feels pain . then why did he cringe ?

he turns to you . { i ' ll be back courtney , don ' t you worry . daddy loves you .}

the man snorts , before closing the door to look at you . { it ' s alright . you don ' t have to be afraid . you can be happy . }

maybe you should be happy , but you ' re not .

{ i want my daddy back . }
