Blue October - Angel

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
 Oh you gave birth to
 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
 Embarrassed 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?
