Lyrics of ' Matches ' by Mike Mains & The Branches

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 chorus
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 chorus
That would burn down everything that kept us back

Tell ya father that you love him and lets get in my car
Drive as fast as we can till we get to
Where we think we will be saved
From the world and everything

Oh, yeah, man grab it 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
Your tough nail but fragile as you sell them above 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 feet don't dare to walk down
But once you do your bound to hear
I once was lost but now I'm found!

Well take what you believe and turn it into a forest
Give me a set of matches and we'll sing a chorus
That we burn down everything that kept us back

Tell ya father that you love him and lets get in my car
Drive as fast as we can till we get to
Where we think we will be saved
From the world and everything

Oh yeah, I once was lost but now I'm found!
