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
