Angel Lyrics
[00:04.37] Spend all your time waiting
[00:08.15] For that second chance
[00:12.51] For a break that would make it okay
[00:15.28] There's always some reason
[00:20.73] To feel not good enough
[00:25.09] And it's hard at the end of the day
[00:27.73] I need some distraction
[00:33.32] Oh, beautiful release
[00:37.77] Memories seep from my veins
[00:41.40] Let me be empty
[00:44.81] Oh, and weightless and maybe
[00:49.41] I'll find some peace tonight
[00:55.63] In the arms of the angel
[01:00.22] Fly away from here
[01:06.20] From this dark cold hotel room
[01:12.49] And the endlessness that you fear
[01:18.17] You are pulled from the wreckage
[01:24.97] Of your silent reverie
[01:30.14] You're in the arms of the angel
[01:37.72] May you find some comfort here
[01:55.38] So tired of the straight line
[01:59.72] And everywhere you turn
[02:03.53] There's vultures and thieves at your back
[02:08.54] And the storm keeps on twisting
[02:11.75] You keep on building the lies
[02:15.21] That you make up for all that you lack
[02:19.65] It don't make no difference
[02:24.29] Escaping one last time
[02:28.54] It's easier to believe in this sweet madness
[02:36.36] Oh, this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
[02:46.96] In the arms of the angel
[02:52.80] Fly away from here
[02:58.22] From this dark cold hotel room
[03:03.97] And the endlessness that you fear
[03:10.07] You are pulled from the wreckage
[03:16.56] Of your silent reverie
[03:21.97] You're in the arms of the angel
[03:29.20] May you find some comfort here
[03:41.88] You're in the arms of the angel
[03:47.34] May you find some comfort here...
[03:57.21]
[00:08.15] For that second chance
[00:12.51] For a break that would make it okay

[00:25.09] And it's hard at the end of the day
[00:27.73] I need some distraction

[00:49.41] I'll find some peace tonight
[00:55.63] In the arms of the angel
[01:00.22] Fly away from here
[01:06.20] From this dark cold hotel room
[01:12.49] And the endlessness that you fear
[01:18.17] You are pulled from the wreckage

[03:41.88] You're in the arms of the angel
[03:47.34] May you find some comfort here...
