Your throat swathed in a muffler your bent | B |
Figure building the snow man which is meant | B |
For the grandchild's target | C |
do you know | A |
This fat cartoon his eyes pocked in with coal | D |
Nears you each time your breath smokes the air | E |
Lewdly grinning out of a private nightmare | E |
He is the white cold shadow of your soul | D |

I near you you near him all of us must die | G |
