as heaven is wide

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.
