She could still feel his rough hands.

She could still feel his sickeningly warm breath along her neck.

She could still see his cold eyes, laughing at her.

She could still see his tongue licking his lips.

She could still hear his laugh, taunting her, reminding her how helpless she really is.

She could still hear his groan of pleasure ringing in her ears, as he came inside her.

The pain she feels, from that night, from every night before, from every night after words, ached through her body. It would never leave her, and she knew it wouldn't. She would live with this forever. A reminder, so she would never forget, that she was helpless. Is helpless. Will always be helpless, even when she's dead.

She needs a change, a change that would help her store the haunting memory in the back of her mind. A change that would help her leave everything behind. Leave him, and all his horrible things behind.

She needs to fell again.

She needs to forget.

She needs to smile again.

She needs… to move.

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I used to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine
Where ever she would go
But lookin' at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get of her head
And I can only imagine
What's she's feelin' when she's prayin'
Kneeling at the edge of her bed
And she says…

Take me away
Then take me farther.
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like
Holy water
Holy water.

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
And unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
And she says…

Take me away
Then take me farther.
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like
Holy water
Holy water.

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She just needs the healin' hands
Of someone who understands
And she says…

Take me away
Then take me farther.
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says
Take me away
Then take me farther.
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like
Holy water
Like holy water.
Like holy water.
