Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me long after you are dead and gone

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
If holy is as holy does

This house will burn straight down to hell
Take it's conscience with it
As it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind you broke the pact
If gods my witness god must be blind
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish

Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't, you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong

Choke on guilt that's far too good for you say one word I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you in the place where you left me
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish I could fly
As angels can fly
