Fallen Idol

Eyes that stare through television
Intermission in his mind
Where there once was such ambition that blared
Like a bassline when the bassline's right

Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol with
Bits of paper for his past

Years are scattered like the rain drops
Sits at the window through the empty day
Competitions in the paper
Stares at the sky when the sky turns grey

Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol

Shame he's just this fallen idol
Empty as the middle class
Shame he's just this fallen idol with
Bits of paper for his past
Bits of paper for his past
