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're 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 God's 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 

I wish, I wish.
