"Religion" lyrics - WILDER WOODS

WILDER WOODS
"Religion"

I was on my knees again
Begging for my ways to change
But the truth I uncovered, the pressure I'm under
To please you has gone away
You're a temptress, you're to blame
For the guilt I can't displace
Though there's winters and summers
And so much has changed
You're the fortress for my shame

[Chorus:]
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Is all the religion I've got

[Post-Chorus:]
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, oh
Is all the religion I've got

I was lost inside her arms
Trying to climb my way back out
But it ain't what you got or the buildings you bought
That'll save you from the sound
She's a needy harlequin
Built by greed and selfish men
Though it's easy to love her for all you discover
She's bound to fall again

[Chorus:]
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
I was raised in a house of God
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
Is all the religion I've got
Oh, is all the religion I've got

[Post-Chorus:]
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, oh
Is all the religion I've got
