The Game
Aim
Squeeze
The gun's report
All it takes to claim a victim
They sink to the ground
Without a second thought
They don't make a sound
No time to wish they could have fought
You claim your prize
Bloodied and breathless
With other lies
You add it to your death-list
You joke around
Like it's fun
Friends and family surround
Always in stun
Your face is stern
Your body is hard
It's all you can do
To stay the star
In you the fear
Masked by the game
There's a mirror
Go look at your shame
Squeeze
The gun's report
All it takes to claim a victim
They sink to the ground
Without a second thought
They don't make a sound
No time to wish they could have fought
You claim your prize
Bloodied and breathless
With other lies
You add it to your death-list
You joke around
Like it's fun
Friends and family surround
Always in stun
Your face is stern
Your body is hard
It's all you can do
To stay the star
In you the fear
Masked by the game
There's a mirror
Go look at your shame
