lyrics

Here we go fallin' over the edge now, the great divine is split wide open tell me which side of hell you'll think we'll land on
And if we make it to the pearly gates then tell me will are accolades earn for are say eternal day will be having

What filthy piles of sand are lives make
If we just sit beside the shore and never change

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

So we'll loosen up the rope tangled round your throat
Now like always up spring your words will bloom out because there destine to go upon the mountain tops

Oh, no body cares what you believe until they see what you do, so take a step off of the porch theres a dream to walk through it's only when you die to yourself that you make new
Oh, and Danny signed up for war but didn't know, if all the blood he shed on the ground would change a thing at all

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 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!
