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
memories seep from my veins
and may 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 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 here

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
cause vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
keep on buliding the lies
that you make up for all that you lack

it 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 kness

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

you're in the arms of the angel,
may you find
some comfort here
