What do you see?
This isn't a dream, it's your life
Do you see someone you don't want to be?

Can't you see
You're my beautiful angel, so delicate
Sent from Heaven, just for me
I just don't know what to make of it

You feel ugly on the outside
So you take the knife and cut deep
The ugliness drains from the inside
It's red river flows as you sit and weep

I don't understand
You're so perfect and beautiful
I wish you'd show me what's wrong, lead me by the hand
What made you so remorseful?

When you see your reflection in the blade
You see someone unfit and ugly
When you see those scars on your arms, only you know why they're made
You just don't see that you are so lovely

Angel with the Scabbed Arms

Take a look at the knife
What do you see?
This isn't a dream, it's your life
Do you see someone you don't want to be?

Can't you see
You're my beautiful angel, so delicate
Sent from Heaven, just for me
I just don't know what to make of it

You feel ugly on the outside
So you take the knife and cut deep
The ugliness drains from the inside
It's red river flows as you sit and weep

I don't understand
You're so perfect and beautiful
I wish you'd show me what's wrong, lead me by the hand
What made you so remorseful?

When you see your reflection in the blade
You see someone unfit and ugly
When you see those scars on your arms, only you know why they're made
You just don't see that you are so lovely

Colleen, thank you for writing this for us, it was beautiful. However, it seems your title was a spin off of Marilyn Manson's song title, "Angel with the Scabbed Wings." Other than that, I liked this. I think the rest of the family should read it.
