It's too depressing to sing alone, in the shower, or anywhere else.
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 Let me be empty 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 There's vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lies 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 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 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
