Dead Eyes Replete

Nurture the chosen one

The honeypot runs thick

This one will make us rich

Nurture this tiny creature

They'll be idolized by all

That's why we're franticly pushing

Before they inevitably fall

We wait as tired hands prep the set

Constantly hoping that the child doesn't begin to fret

If they do there's no stress

A quick reward will do the trick

We simply can't afford another miss

Between blinding lights and muttered shouts

We smile to ease the atmospheric tension out

Expectations are far too high

To allow this feeble one the power to decide

If so they'll reap consequences most divine

They seem exhausted yet we push them ahead

The fire in their eyes is all but dead

We feed the masses their fading smiles

As we wait dissatisfied in the aisles

We have delivered a lackluster experience

We crafted a vacant hole

A life on parole

Maturity achieved far in advance

They never ever even stood a chance

We took them for granted, we knew all along

Sold the enchantment of what became their swan song

The fractured one is still trapped within this life

Despite having everything a person could like

The emptiness remains ever present

There's no remedy for the life that was spent

Beware the spotlight

Beware the spotlight

So watch out what you wish for

Beware the spotlight

The omniscient gaze

Can't you see remains far too bright

This voided star is all that is left

This vacuous idol's identity is now bereft
