Despair Lyrics

And so I continue on my journey

Through the withered wasteland

Exhausted, starving, thirsty

With no specific plan

This stranger could be my saviour

I can feel it, I can

Carried on the stale breeze

A rhythmic 'thud' makes me freeze

So here we have the moment of truth

A physical sign, tangible proof

Maybe chopping up firewood or building a home

Another survivor is walking alone

Oh

The banging grows louder the closer I get

I break into a run, and finally let

A smile cross my face for the first time in years

It's finally happening, the moment is here

My feet stop in their tracks, I stare down in shock

Right up ahead, the footprints have stopped

I fall to my knees, my head in my hands

As I read the note scratched into the sand

"I grew too weary of walking alone

So I decided I had to move on."

I stare at the body

That hangs from the tree

Smashing into the trunk

As it swings in the breeze

I'm too late, I've missed my chance

They've given up the fight

(Should have done it differently)

I'm too late, I've sealed my fate

It's too, too late

I can't keep walking here alone

I can't
