Salvation Hurts

Salvation ain't looking for me
I cut too many corners when God was asleep
Damnation tucked in my sleeve
I took too many drugs, now I can't see my feet
I'll split the difference
Until there's nothing to see
I used to be the river delta
Now I drown in the sea
Salvation ain't looking for me
Salvation ain't looking for me
Hey, hallelujah
Hey, hallelujah
There's a shadow at your door
It's a reckoning, reckoning
Knock knock, can you hear me?
Getting threatening, threatening
Turn it up, turn it up
Until it's deafening, deafening
I got demons and demons
And now they're wrestling, wrestling
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Salvation ain't looking for me
I drink forbidden poison
Throw myself on the street
St. Peter too my fake ID
Jesus walked me into Heaven
But they asked me to leave
A premonition shouting power and blood
Don't try to change the way I feel about the people I love
Salvation ain't working for me
Salvation ain't looking for me
Hey, hallelujah
Hey, hallelujah
There's a shadow at your door
It's a reckoning, reckoning
Knock knock, can you hear me?
Getting threatening, threatening
Turn it up, turn it up
Until it's deafening, deafening
I got demons and demons
And now they're wrestling, wrestling
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
And I lost myself in the cloud I blew through
To get me closer to God
I can do more damage by myself
I'm gonna need your answers, please
And I lost myself in the cloud I blew through
To get me closer to God
Hallelujah
Hey, hallelujah
Hey, hallelujah
Hey, hallelujah
There's a shadow at your door
It's a reckoning, reckoning
Knock knock, can you hear me?
Getting threatening, threatening
Turn it up, turn it up
Until it's deafening, deafening
I got demons and demons
And now they're wrestling, wrestling
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh, salvation hurts
Singing, oh
