Sheepwave - Rewrite Lyrics

Who am I to take the place of God
If I'm tearing down the things we've fought for?
Still I'll bear the weight of broken hearts
If it saves her

A lonely girl who lost her father
From words she didn't mean to say
Until a second chance restored her broken heart
And left behind an empty grave

But silence falls on dampened eyes
Colliding worlds reveal the truth
Behind a perfect lie
That in her hands

She holds the fate of friend and father
One will have to die
So she let's her father's echo fade
While choking on goodbye

Who am I to take the place of God
If I'm tearing down the things we've fought for?
Still I'll bear the weight of broken hearts

If it saves her
I'll undo the dreams we've brought to life
Cause I don't ever want to see her die again
I'll retrace the steps, rewrite the past

Until we break away

Completely void of confidence
Still he carried on from day to day
Until he took a hold of a chance to shift his fate
His prior life began to fade

But doubt begins to creep inside
Colliding worlds unveil a cold
And unforgiving plight

Serenity is not without it's price
His peace of mind will cost a life
So he gives away his desires
All to keep his friend alive

Who am I to take the place of God
If I'm tearing down the things we've fought for?
Still I'll bear the weight of broken hearts

If it saves her
I'll undo the dreams we've brought to life
Cause I don't ever want to see her die again
I'll retrace the steps, rewrite the past

Until we break away

One who's entirely alone
And doomed to fade
She sells her soul to those
Who pledge they'll never walk away

Desperate, longing for a place
Where she belongs
Integrity begins to give and fall

She threw away the ones
Who called with open arms
Betrayed and murdered those
Who let her in their foolish hearts

And when she's given all she has
She's thrown away
Forgotten by the ones who swore to stay

The suffocating truth has left her bent
Surrendering, she tries to make amends
And when the truth's unveiled
And a knife ensures her final breath
I yield forgiveness for the traitor left forsaken with regret

Even with the final piece restored
It has brought a price I can't afford
I compelled my friends to sacrifice desire

But I should have known that fate would not be satisfied
And should I compromise to save her life
Then I betray another friend to die
