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



I haven't told to many people about this but I guess everyone will know now!! I am HIV positive and have been since 1999. When I found out this song was coming out and really just seemed to relate to what I was going through. I had spent so much of my life seeking a 2nd chance at life. I felt I had not been given a fair chance...little did I realize at that time that my life was so much more than I ever thought it was.

I also wanted to fly away and disappear in my pain and sorrow. I found out I was Positive the same time my ex, the one who gave it to me, left me. Now don't go feeling sorry for me at all...I didn't post this for pity or sorrow. I just am reflecting on something I dealt with and have grown from.
