Mike Mains And The Branches - Matches lyrics

Here we go falling over the edge now The great divide is split wide open Tell me which side of hell You think we'll land on And if we make it to the pearly gates Then tell me will our accolades Earn for us an eternal date in heaven? What filthy piles of sand our lives make If we just sit beside the shore and never change We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a That would burn down everything that kept us back So loosen up the rope tangled around your throat now Like flowers of spring, your words will bloom out Because they're destined to go upon the mountain tops (Ohhh) Nobody cares what you believe until they see what you do So take a step off of the porch, there's a dream to walk through It's only when you die to yourself, that you're made new Oh and Danny signed up for war but didn't know (Up up ohh up up) If all the blood he shed on the ground would change a thing at all (Up up ohh up up) We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a That would burn down everything that kept us back Tell your father you love him and let's get in my car Drive as fast as we can 'til we're gettin' to where we think We will be saved, from the world and everything Oh yeah, man grab him while the pot is hot These words of mine are sharp enough to cut a hole in the wall The one you built around your heart to never let no one in You're tough as nails but fragile as you're seldom up the skin We are the pictures on the wall you wish your camera took We are the echo in the hallway that is leading you down That dusty road your filthy feet don't dare to walk down But once you do you're bound to hear "I once was lost but now I'm found!" (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) We'll take what you believe and turn it into a forest Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a That would burn down everything that kept us back Tell your father you love him and let's get in my car Drive as fast as we can 'til we're gettin' to where we think We will be saved, from the world and everything Oh yeah I once was lost but now I'm found (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
