Angel Food, Cupcake Vineyards

The aroma:

"In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.

Of your silent reverie.
You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.” - Sarah McLachlan

Take it from my hand
I can’t stop drinking on my own"
