Angel Lyrics

Spend all your time waiting

 for that second chance

 for a break that would make it okay

 there's always one 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

 you keep on building the lie

 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
