Futility

                                  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
