The rope that`s wrapped around me 
Is cutting through my skin 
And the doubts that have surrounded me 
Are finding their way in 
I keep it close to me 
Like a holy man prays 
In my desperate hour 
It`s better that way 
So I`ll come by and see you again 
I`ll be such a very good friend 
Have mercy on my soul 
I will never let you know 
Where my mind has been 
Angels never came down 
There`s no one here they want to hang around 
But if they knew 
If they knew you at all 
Then one by one the angels 
Angels would fall 
I`ve crept into your temple 
I have slept upon your pew 
I`ve dreamed of the divinity 
Inside and out of you 
I want it more than truth 
I can taste it on my breath 
I would give my life just for a little death 
So I`ll come by and see you again 
I`ll be just a very good friend 
I will not look upon your face 
I will not touch upon your grace 
Your ecclesiastic skin 
I`ll come by and see you again 
I`ll have to be a very good friend 
If I whisper they will know 
I`ll just turn around and go 
You will never know my sin
