Debutainted

When the tears came down
he blushed upon his timid knees
the flowers silent on the wall
he couldn't look them in the eye
the sharks were barely waiting
he'd take a bullet in the back before he'd fall

he handled like a dream the
sky was slightly laughing
at the irony of it all
the moment it arrived
had shredded him to tears
stripped down to two feet tall

hold it high they say almost every day

if you were thrown to the wall
would you rise or would you fall
and would you ride the tide of fortune like a debutainted doll
if your legend don't sing
if you lost your everything
would your heart bleed down to pieces or bring life to your broken wing

you're slowly losing ground
the word's all over town
you dropped the ball they say
you couldn't look them in the eye
the sharks were barely waiting
you'd take a bullet down before
you'd run the other way

it's do or die they say almost everyday
