lyrics

young, dumb and juiced like an over-ripened fruit
former high school bigshot with far too much to prove
preyed on the weak because he knew he'd never lose
but when the tables finally turned more than his body was bruised

broken, broken spirit
pride gets real quiet when there's no one to hear it
broken, broken spirit
crippled his ego with no one to fear it

sore and ashamed when his true colors did show
arrogance subsides when he would take the final blow
pushed back to his thoughts, back when he was a star
but he made the wrong play and now he's spent hard!

broken, broken spirit
pride gets real quiet when there's no one to hear it
broken, broken spirit
crippled his ego with no one to fear it

and no, there's no way out
live through his days, wrought with self-doubt
and no, there's no way out
he'll live through his days...
