Lesson by Caroline Devane
Spend all your time waiting
For that second _1_
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some _2_
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some _3_
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be _4_
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold _5_ room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your _6_ reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
So _7_ of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
Storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no _8_
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet _9_ oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
Which words go in which spaces?
