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
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 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

This song reminds me of the ever present discontent that hides in the shadows most of the time, but when things slow down this time of year, seems to capture more time in thought than it should. Spending time in our minds thinking and rethinking all that lay behind us and before us. Sometimes all I want is that distraction to pull me out of the depths of my own madness. To not be so consumed with second chances ~ because all that is done is just that: done.

Silent Reverie.....
