angel

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
oh 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
the storm keeps on twisting
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
you're 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

love

if you judge people, you don't have time to love them.

if you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

i have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

for whom the bell tolls

blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
he hears the silence so loud
crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

keeping the..

you're a falling star, you're the get away car.
you're the line in the sand when i go too far.
you're the swimming pool, on an august day.
and you're the perfect thing to say.

and you play your card, but it's kinda cute.
when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
cause you can see it when i look at you.
