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
