Adult Game

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
