all about teen pressures and what is wrong with giving in
They hand you the dice.
You roll.
Snake eyes. Figures.

They hand you the gun.
You shoot.
Damn mockingbirds. Figures.

They buy you a shot.
You drink.
It burns. Figures.

They give you a joint.
You smoke.
Damn cough. Figures.

They show you the girl.
You love her.
She dies. Figures.

Can you handle this?
Is this too much for you?
Hidden behind the mask,
You're afraid to show yourself.
They know you as much as you do.
You do anything they ask but...

The hidden figures are closing in.
