Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless
And maybe I’ll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
    3     from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your     4     reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
