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
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
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
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

Simple.
Ideally, I see this song coming from a daughter who was abused somehow by a parent in a highly religious household (religious corruption, thus wanting to be far from God, but still clinging to imbedded Christian concepts of Heaven, holiness, Hell, angels, and God's existence).
Both have to live with their sins. The song makes me feel like these injustices are never spoken of either.
"Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone "
This gives me the feeling that the abuser is considerably older than the abused. And once they get to die and finally escape their suffering, the person they hurt still has to live with the pain.
"If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here "
This also might suggest the victim is physically confined somehow, by wheelchair or otherwise, though I don't think this is necessarily the case.
“As far from God
As heaven is wide “
The desire to be far from God would stem from that being brought up with abuse from what was said to be a Godly person.
