Futility - Dreadful Shadows

Breaking wood beneath my feet

I am standing on a fragile bridge

The abyss is indescribably deep

Only ledges could catch my fall

Something forces me to wait right here

I’d rather run away if I could

Seconds seem to be hours

These hollow beams are bent like blades of grass

They’d never have carried weight before

The railings are destroyed

I’m just a step away

Is this my life?

Is this my life?

Wherever I’ve gone

The end was always

The futility of delight

Whatever I’ve said

In my words was always

The futility of delight

Now the bridge is breaking apart

I cannot get a hold of anything

There’s nothing within my reach at all

I’m falling weightlessly

Just a step too far

This is my life

This is my life

Wherever I’ve gone

The end was always

The futility of delight

Whatever I’ve said

In my words was always

The futility of delight
