angel

            spend all your time waiting
            for that second chance,
            for a break that would make it okay...
            there's always some reason
            to feel not good enough,
            and it's hard at the end of the day...
            i need some distraction--
            oh, beautiful release...
            memory seeps from my veins.
            let me be empty,
            and weightless, and maybe
            i'll find some peace tonight...

            in the arms of an angel,
            fly away from here...
            from this dark, cold hotel room,
            and the endlessness that you fear...
            you are pulled from the wreckage
            of your silent reverie...
            you're in the arms of the angel--
            may you find some comfort there...

            so tired of the straight line,
            and everywhere you turn,
            there's vultures and thieves at your back...
            and the storm keeps on twisting,
            and you keep on building the lies
            that you make up for all that you lack...
            it don't make no difference...
            escaping one last time...
            it's easier to believe
            in this sweet madness, oh,
            this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees...

            in the arms of an angel,
            fly away from here...
            from this dark, cold hotel room,
            and the endlessness that you fear...
            you are pulled from the wreckage
            of your silent reverie...
            you're in the arms of the angel--
            may you find some comfort there...
            you're in the arms of the angel...
            may you find some comfort here...
