Comrades, undecideds, and somatic cynics. It is nice to meet you. It is nice move on from the leisurely ghouls, the misanthropic and parasitic fools of fear and insecurity who have delighted in your pain, misery, and loneliness.

The cold winter wind of hatred is harsh but you are loved. To the changed, it is nice to meet you The hands on the cave wall will outlast us all So please, help me go with compassion In the meetings arranged, in spirit, exchanged The hands on the cave wall will outlast us all It is nice to meet you

The figure of yourself (name redacted) appears at the corner of Aesthetics and Nostalgia

So the roulette wheel of impressions disappears behind curtains where on stage, who should near

The stranger to yourself who inhabits your stare above, beneath With teeth like plastic chairs

The figure of yourself (name reviled) desires their gruesome styles and their teeth and perfect hairs

repeat as needed, yourself (name unimportant) will see the curse a message you will not heed

repeat as needed, yourself (arguably? who cares?) will see that this is the only way, to feel
