Blue October - Angel lyrics

I'm wishing the bath water clean

She hides in the back and is unseen

I take off the mask that surrounds me

Look me in the face

What do you see

I feel like a boy the age of 13

My body grows up

But my mind stays the same

Look me in the face

What do you see?

How do you tell an angel

That you don't believe in God?

Why do I feel

Like such a stranger

I look around

I look around

And all my friends are gone

But oh would you be me?

Because I would be you

Oh you'd be happy

Only if you wanted to

And how would you treat me?

Because I would treat you

Oh you'd be happy

Only if you wanted to

How do you tell your Father,

That you want him to notice you?

Why does this seem like such a bother?

When mom says you'd be better off dead

But I want to see you

I still want to see you

Oh would you call me?

Oh it's not hard too

I'm the first one

On your birthday

And oh would you write me

On my birthday

Graduation, was yesterday

Yesterday

Oh...

How do you hold the special victim?

When they push you away

When they've been

Raped on the inside

Torn on the outside

The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide

Touched in private places

Embarassed faces

To scared to ask for help

Oh would you be me?

Because I would be you

Oh you'd be happy

Only if you wanted to

And how would you treat me?

Because I would treat you

You'd be happy

Only if you wanted to

I'm wishing the bath water clean

She hides in the back and is unseen

I take off the mask that surrounds me

Look me in the face

What do you see?
