Nugatory Hope - I Am Nothing lyrics

I stand on a burning bridge between desolation and hope And as the flames burn, I feel my hatred as it's stoked Despondency is eating me away at the core So let's sit back and watch this fire soar As I walk, I bleed out any drop of hope A false sense of confidence time and time exposed Camaraderie and happiness are withering away I just want to capitulate and leave it all today Everything I worked so hard for is whisked away (And I'm never repaid) Guided by the light and led to darkness (A black void, so heartless) Enveloped by a cloud of despair and confusion, and There's not much I can do, 'cuz I am nothing A sanctuary in my head encases me so I can escape Reality soon knocks it down and entails my fate I'm left for dead, I want the red to flow down my face The sweet release seems better than this nihilistic daze I stand alone on this adverse path I've turned into a recluse with a never-ending wrath Is it bad that I wanted to move on from my past? I've lost it all; it will only darken in the aftermath Everything I worked so hard for is whisked away (And I'm never repaid) Guided by the light and led to darkness (A black void, so heartless) Enveloped by a cloud of despair and confusion, and There's not much I can do, 'cuz I am nothing My struggles are what define me Depression and strife confine me You will never understand the blackness and hurt inside of me You say that I'm not trying I'm needy, sly, and lying But everything's been stripped away; Escape seems so enticing
