Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okayThere's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard, at the end of the dayI need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veinsAnd maybe empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonightIn the arms of the 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 hereSo tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your backThe storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lackIt don't make no difference
Escape one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my kneesIn the arms of the 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 hereYou're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
