← No Time In Their Hands →

They were reckless kids with water guns.

When they were on the run, they had the most fun.

Their father,

a hardworking man.

He came from far away, a foreign land.

He did his best to give them the childhood he never had.

Their mother,

a simple woman at first glance,

but  there was so much more about her.

Beyond her wrinkled hands,

only those who listened to her stories carefully would understand.

They would remain like that if they had a chance, but time isn't in their hands.

← Hit & Run →

hit & run, until we're done.

Take their lives & spare no one,

carrying guns to shoot just for fun,

we're all just criminals on the run.

Insanity has done its damage,

never to be undone.

On a high,

for a while.

Kiss our loved ones goodbye.

"Shoot them down."

"Lunatics are running around town."

Many worry, many frown.

but it's too late now.

Memories start to become blurry.

Hurry,

time's almost up.

People start to wake up, & that's when we put our mask back on.

Oh! Don't forget the make up!

They will never see through us,

that's what makes this sick game fun.

← Macaroni Necklaces & Candy Bracelets →

Childish habits, and toys scattered around the house in several different places.

When their parents would come home, they put on innocent faces.

They left trails of muddy foot prints everywhere.

And traces of cookie crumbs.

The smell of sweat lingered in the air

"Play time is over!"

"No fair!"

They should clean up the mess, but they're too young to care.

Everything smelt stinky, too much for their parents to bear.

Just a little bit of fresh air.

Pretty little girls with short hair run to their mother's side.

Their mother holds in her sighs.

"Mommy, make me look more like you!"

"But, you two already have such beautiful faces."

"No, we want to look like you!"

"Are you sure you want to start competing in society's horrible race? When you two already have so much grace? Why must you put all the things that make you two unique to waste? Are you two sure you won't regret seeing a different face?"

"Yes, mommy. Let's pick up the pace."

"Then, let's start with macaroni necklaces & candy bracelets."
