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
