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
