Written by Sarah McLachlan

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
The memory seep from my veins
So let me be empty oh and weightless
Then maybe I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angels fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the airlessness that you fear
You were pulled from the wreckage by your silent reverie
Now you're in the arms of the angels
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line oh and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building a 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 that in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angels…
