Sheepwave - Divergence Lyrics

From the start, I know the end
It left an empty shell
And I don't ever want to see that hell again

But still I climb aboard
I know how small the chance is
But there's been a change in circumstances

I swore I would live my life without you
And let you fade away
That promise came crashing down beside you
And left me resolute

To find a way to bring you home again
A match above a world soaked in kerosene
Falls with your guillotine

A consequence that I will tear away
Diverging from the path that's ahead of me
So I won't be without you
Without you

The inception of my hell
I never could have guessed
That here I'd also come to face my epilogue

While staying out of sight
I watch with new perspective
Until I'm face to face with my regret

If I could I would live my life without you
But now you're standing in my way
I'm tongue-tied, my words refuse to reach you
But still I swear to you

I'll find a way to bring you home again
A match above a world soaked in kerosene
Falls with your guillotine

A consequence that I will tear away
Diverging from the fate that's ahead of me
So I won't be without you
Without you

The scene plays out before my eyes
The daughter that he left behind
Returned to mend the pieces of
A shattered, broken, distant love

Her tears reflect in blinded eyes
He took her words for twisted lies
The anger rising with his blade
Compels me from my hideaway

So rushing forth to keep her safe
I hammer in the final nail inside her grave

Her quiet voice says "I don't want to die"
Her eyes begin to close as she slips away
Please bring her back
Return to me, I've failed you
Return to me, I've failed, I've failed, I've failed, I've failed

I failed to bring you home
I failed, I left you alone
Forgive me

Please don't leave me here
Without you
Without you
