Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
用全部的時間等待第二次機會

For a break that would make it OK
因為休息等待讓你覺得好過

There’s always some reasons to feel not good enough
總是有理由說感覺不夠好

And it’s hard at the end of the day
結束一天是如此艱辛

I need some distraction or a beautiful release
我需要散散心，或是一個美妙的解脫

Memories seep from my veins
回憶自我心中流逝
v Let me be empty and weightless
讓我虛空飄渺

And maybe I’ll find some peace tonight
也許今晚我可以得到一些平靜

In the arms of the angel
在天使的懷裏

Fly away from here
飛離此地

From this dark, cold hotel room
遠離黑暗、陰冷的旅館房間

And the endlessness that you fear
和你懼怕的無盡輪迴

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
在你無聲幻夢的殘骸中引領你

You are in the arms of the angel
你在天使的懷裏

May you find some comfort here
願你能得到安慰

So tired of the straight line
願倦了勇往直前

And everywhere you turn
在你轉彎的每一個地方

There’re vultures and thieves at your back
總有禿鷹與宵小在你身後虎視眈眈

The storm keeps on twisting
暴風雨仍肆虐不止

You keep on building the lies
你仍在建構謊言

That you make up for all that you lack
以彌補你所欠缺的

It don’t make no difference, escape one last time
但再逃避一次也於事無補，

It’s easier to believe
只是更加確定

In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
在這甜蜜的瘋狂、光榮的憂傷裡

That brings me to my knees
使我頷首屈膝

In the arms of the angel
在天使的懷裏

Fly away from here
飛離此地

From this dark, cold hotel room
遠離黑暗、陰冷的旅館房間

And the endlessness that you fear
和你懼怕的無盡輪迴

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
在你無聲幻夢的殘骸中引領你

You are in the arms of the angel
你在天使的懷裏

May you find some comfort here
願你能得到安慰

You are in the arms of the angel
在天使的懷裏

May you find some comfort here
願你能得到安慰
