Futility Lyrics - 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
