Adult Game - ALISA

Piece by piece, they move across the game board

Thinking, planning, plotting how to squish

The rest are merely players to defeat

Or better yet, turn to puppets on a string

The masquerade of adulthood is warning

Hidden faces take secrets to the grave

Hypnotized, their eyes are on the prize

Painted smiles play the adult game

One step forward, it’s another couple backward

Testing waters, gambling their precious

Lives can change for the good or for the bad

Blink of an eye, poker face until they die

The masquerade of adulthood is warning

Hidden faces take secrets to the grave

Hypnotized, their eyes are on the prize

Painted smiles play the adult game

The masquerade of adulthood is warning

Hidden faces take secrets to the grave

Hypnotized, their eyes are on the prize

Painted smiles play the adult game
