Pictures Of You (Cover)
[Intro]

Police!
What's going on, ma'am?
We live on 755 15th Street!
What's going on there ma'am?
We have a kidnapping, hurry please!
Explain to me what's going on, okay?
There, We have a, there's a note left and our daughter is gone!
A note was left and your daughter is gone?
Yes!
How old is your daughter?
She's 6 years old, she's blonde, 6 years old-
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Just one day after Christmas in 1996
6 year old JonBenét was found dead in the basement of the Ramsey's home, only hours after her parents had reported her missing
Police say her father, John Ramsey found JonBenét with a 9 long cord wrapped around her neck
Her wrists were tied above her head, and her mouth was covered by duct tape
[Verse 1: Mr Kitty]
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
[Interlude]
An autopsy revealed the girl was killed by strangulation, and a skull fracture someday before dawn
Her parents said an intruder entered their home, and killed their daughter
But authorities say there was no signs of forced entries two days after JonBenét's body was discovered
A battle began between the Ramsey's, the Boulder Police, and the media
[Verse 2: Mr Kitty]
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
[Interlude]
Three medical experts who consulted with the Boulder Police Department, say there was evidence that JonBenét had been sexually assaulted
Arts suggested that the girl had been abused for some time in 2008
More advanced DNA technology cleared JonBenét's parents, and her brother Burke of her murder
But Patsey Ramsey did not live to hear her name cleared
[Verse 3: Mr Kitty]
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate, lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
[Bridge: Mr Kitty]
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
[Outro]
In 2013, a grand jury found sufficient evidence to indict JonBenét's parents on child abuse chargers, but a district attorney refused to sign that indictment
Twenty years later, Boulder Police say the case is still open, but is not actively being investigated
This means we may never know who killed JonBenét
