Angel

Spend all your time waiting,

For that second chance,

For a break that would make it ok,

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 a beautiful release,

Memory seep through my veins,

Let me be empty,

Oh and weightless and maybe,

I’ll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel,

Fly away from here,

From this stark, cold hotel room,

And the endlessness that you feel,

You are pulled from the wreckage,

Of your silent reverie,

In the arms of the angel,

May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight life,

And everywhere you turn,

There’s vultures and thieves at your back,

The storm keeps on twisting,

Keep on building the lies

That you make up for all that you lack,

Don’t make no difference,

Escaping one last time,

It’s easier to believe,

In this sweet madness,

All this glory and sadness,

Which brings me to my knees.

In the arms of the angel,

Fly away from here,

From this stark, cold hotel room,

And the endlessness that you feel,

You are pulled from the wreckage,

Of your silent reverie,

In the arms of the angel,

May you find some comfort here.

In the arms of the angel,

May you find some comfort here.
