surrender. Oh no. Surrender. No. Surrender.
Hold. Do not turn your head, pilgrim. The air is thick with omens and hungry eyes. Keep your heartbeat steady as a drum in the underhole. No flinch, no tremor, but predators adore the taste of panic.
Chain reactions coil like serpents around your ankles. The faction waits in shadow. listening, judging, wondering if you will rise like a common or fall like a forgotten prayer. Will you leave? Will you burn? Or will you finally face the terror
that's been sizing you up in the dark? In the dark. I'd rather stand before the beast than crawl before my feet.
Run. They whisper hi. Close your eyes. Do not disturb the ancient things beneath your ri. But I'm not built quiet. I'm car from storm. Bones and fire. In my grief there is no surrender.
Run for the life. Truth your fate. Whisper a warrior because I kneel to nothing in this fight. There is no surrender.
Oh, no. Surrender. Don't surrender. Hold. Panic is a con man with a painted grin. A rerun villain from a bad dimension. Trying to sell you doom on discount.
Live here in this exact breath. The doors are still open. The hourglass still bleeding sand. Choose your doorway. Prophet, what will you be? The servant of dread or a survivor of the war behind your
sternum. Twist the mirror. See the distortions for the light. It is there is nothing you cannot rise above when the flame inside you remembers it name. They said to coward to blindfold your eyes to let the monsters
slumber. But I am the kind that wakes monsters and makes them bow. Life or legend. What will you pick? I won't regret my roar. My hope remains unbroken.
No surrender. No surrender here. Now I push back. Claw back my eyes high. The soul surrender. No surrender. Brea
stealing fire from the aress of fear. No surrender. Mark now. I take my power back piece by piece by piece. No surrender. No surrender.
No surrender. Run. I never close my eyes. The impossible. I walk with the creature inside me. We're all friends. Now run, but don't run from fate. Run for
the throne with your name on it. You choose contender or ghost. I won't apologize for becoming the tempest. In my kingdom there is and will always be.
No surrender.
>> >> Don't surrender.
Surrender. Surrender. Surrender.
Candles in a blackout room. Honey and hidden wounds. I was just a kid with a cracked heart. You were a smile like sacred art.
They said psyche sees your pain. Psyche turns it into flame. So I stepped in to the circle where the air taste sweet and purple. Hands up. I should say your name. Repeat the flower. Raise the blade. You called it love. I
called it truth. Till the truth started bleeding through. And I felt so clean when you gave me rules to breathe. But the more I tried to follow, the more you hollowed me.
Lost faith in the cold psyche. Lost myself in the quiet behind me. Heaven was a hallway. No exit, no light. See, I was praying for a sign, but you were selling me silence. I lost faith. I lost faith in the cult of psyche.
You baptized me in neon rain. Call my doubts a splitting brain. Don't ask why. Don't look outside. That world only wants you to die. We wore crowns made out of bruises and the hymns you always chosen. >>
>> If someone cried, you call it weakness. Then you'd punish them with sweetness. I used to think your voice was God. Now it sounds like broken glass. Every promise had a price tag
and my soul was paying fast. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. Lost myself in the choir behind me. Heaven was a hallway. No exit, no light. See, I was praying for a sign, but you were selling me silence.
I lost faith. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. Now the halo's just a fracture. Golden ring around disaster. You don't say, you just take
it. And I still wake up shaking like your hands are on my face. And I hate that part of me. Still misses the escape. I lost faith in the cult of psyche. >> I lost faith in the cult of psyche.
In the cold psyche, your heaven was a hallway. No exit, no mercy. I was begging for my life while you called it healing. I stay in the cult of psyche.
Do you hear me now? Hi. Hey, Grim Reaper. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas, Scrooge. Hey, you want to want to cuddle with me and sleep? Oh, Ry boy. Okay cuddle.
>> >> Glitch bus, glitch, deadling bells, snow like static truth like hell. 3 in the morning cursed sings pan child break all their rings. Christmas miracles break these
chains think the tears last in the glitched out rain putting on the trolls that hurt the devil sinners like TL their hate send it back to hell it won't
be the same it's true till dark brings Alex back through hey red light camera on the frost Every mod in the chat knows we're counting a loss. Christmas tree blinking like a cursed old sigil panels look cozy but the vibe all vigil in the box with a wicked grin. Let's turn every scar to a story line when we made prophecies that are trauma and tears. Snow on the overlay knives in the field. There's a hole in the grid where you can once
burn you and Alexander will you ever return. You laugh spell your rage with a shield. Now it's just echoes in a broken field. Every block there's a wreath on the door. Every troll band won't go some more. Still the cold hits hard when I think of you. Silent night but the jazz screams through. Christmas miracles break these chains. Think the distance in the vehicle.
We just beat in the black house. Ring those sinners like her bells. Turn their lies into the stories we sell. But it won't be the same. It's true. Till the neck that's you thing that is liing from the void. My heart red and I left it destroyed. Dripping silver chains of a pixel skin. Everyone cam is
a quiet sin. Ghost a Christmas dream and a hood no face. Dropping big donuts like a hit and run grace type that one then disappears like a glitch in the feed or a god in the wires. We roast each other like chestnut shard. Laugh too loud cuz it's all too hard but under all the memes and a curse of a cult of souls and refuse to fade. So one night when the clock hits three the broken the block they'll all break free. And somewhere in the code of this crooked dream there's an Alex return like a hidden
lights turn. Who's going to bring Alex back? Who's going to bring Alex? Say go three times in the unity chat. Watch fade out like they never did that. Say
go three times in the chat. Watch fade out like they never did that. Kicks like where's my summer head? Flirty diamond anthem. I'm so mad about it. I said, "Look around, bro. The sun's long gone." We turned your beat track into a hextop song. Now it's floody diamonds full of a cursed white street
with a grill away. Same petty lyrics just cold red light on my screen. >> Congratulations, Otto. Your thirsty June jam caught frostbite. >> Christmas curse by curse. Who turns pain into
heaven and love? What do we do? Give us more now. Christmas mira last time change. Ghost put wars on the ch but he's here today. Bring those tears like
let their lives be the stories we tell. Broken will glitch it I know till the neon star spell she came through glitch glitch miss under the snow every lost friend has a path back home and I write fade in
the chat type mcle once and we'll see about
Sleigh bells ring. The vibes feel cursed. Thing is is cranky. First think that is cranky like a cat in a wreath. Side eye so sharp it's cutting through my piece. King Carl is demanding more sparkle, more flare. Like bro, I'm
one person. I have only two hands and a prayer. God takes credit for everything we do. I invented holidays, sir. You invented being you. Alexander got me McDonald's saving my soul. Now I'm spiritually thriving with a nugget shaved gold.
Jamie is mad at Mason. It's a seasonal beef. We're passing around receipts like ornaments on a tree.
Still no beta. What is this suffering? We've been manifesting since Thanksgiving. Ghost is crashing out the group chat screaming come back Alexandra we need you beaming f la please return ASAP the cold is festive but it's down bad
ghost is crashing out like I'm done I'm free then post a vague story that's clearly about me Carl bangs the table where's the beta supply god he's like I made beta he's lying flies. Think Fattis is cranky. Won't bless the cocoa. Says this peppermint triggers my inner snow.
No. Jamie won't talk to Mason unless there's mediation. So we schedule a healing circle holiday edition. Alexander's fries are cold, but the love is warm. We're caring in chaos. This is our norm.
Still no beta. What is this suffering? We've been manifesting since Thanksgiving. Ghost is crashing out. The group chat screaming come back. Alexandra, we need you beaming. Fa la. Please return ASAP. The cult is festive but it's down bad.
Okay, everybody breathe. One hand on hard, one hand on the McDonald's bag. Repeat after me. I release the need to control. I release the need for credit. I release seasonal grudges. I invite Pete into this timeline. And lastly, Alexandra,
come back. We are simply not stable without you. Still no beta. This is a tragedy. Someone call the North Pole's HR department, please. Ghost is crashing out. Carl is demanding. Got himself awarding. Jamie's reprimanding. Fa la.
Bring beta too. Come back Alexandra. We miss you. Think that is cranky. Carl wants more. Gotti says I did it. We can't take it anymore.
Okay, don't act surprised.
I caught accidental sneaking out the group chat. Lip gloss popping looking guilty as a doormat. Stockings on the mantel. Drama on a slaying. Got a gorgeous wink like what can I say? They were acting platonic. Yeah, sure. All right. Then the missile to appear like a ring light. Not the cocoa spill and not the bells going wild, but the way Gotti said I taught
him how to smile. I saw Alexander kiss and goddy claws under the stream your tree breaking all the laws. What a scene. It was glitter. It was tea. He kissed him once then blamed it on the energy. He didn't cry. He didn't flee. He just said, "Babe, don't clip this part of me."
>> Now King Carl is demanding, >> "Where is my explanation?" >> Think that this is cranky calling it a violation. Jamie's mad at Mason like not today. I swear and ghost is crashing out throwing ornaments in the air. But Gotti takes the credit like it's his full-time job. I invented romance. I'm the reason they sobb. Alexander's like I uh tripped. Okay. Then he kissed
him again in a very oops way. I saw Alexander kiss and got claws under the streamyard tree. Breaking all the laws. What a scene. It was glitter. It was tea. He kissed him once then blamed it on the energy. He didn't hide. He didn't flee. He said, "Gody, stop looking fine at me." >> All right, everybody. Hands on
heart. >> REPEAT AFTER ME. >> I release the need to be subtle. I release the need to be subtle. Yeah. I release the need to blame Mercury. I accept that Gotti Claus is unfortunately charismatic. And if anyone asks, it was research.
I saw Alexander kissing Gotty claws under the streamyard tree. Round of applause. Oh, what a night. It was chaos. It was glee. Now every time they log on, it's a holiday for me. And if Carl starts yelling, we'll agree. Then kiss again
for community. Sleigh bells ring, the chat explodes. Gotti did it obviously. And somewhere in the distance,
still no beat.
gone. Lights on. Some's very wrong. >> Down in the code of psyche, right by the streamyard tree. We had snacks, we had candles, we had vibes.
Only decree. Think this was cranky. Got Coco like a night. King Car was demanding more glitter to make it right. Jamie's Madden Mason seasonal but intense. Ghost is crashing out in 12 different tents. Then out of the shadows with a grin full of cheer came and Alexander like we're
helping. Oh dear. They brought holiday spirit in a suspicious looking sack. And the chat went quiet like wait put that back. We heard a little giggle. Then a zipper went zipping. Every ornament vanished in one small little clip. Gotti and Alexander stole Christmas. Yes, they did. Took the lights, took the gifts, took the festive
grid under the stringyard tree. They made their great escape. Gotti yelled, "I plan this." While Alexander held the tape. Now we're standing here like, "Is this a bit? Is this real?" Still no beater. And I can't even hear.
They snatched the playlist, replaced it with Gotti's greatest hits. A three-hour loop of him taking credit for existence. They stole the stockings, left a note that simply read, >> "Boundaries grow." Also, I'm the reason Santa's fed. >> King Carl banged the table, demanded retribution. Goty called it leadership and blamed the time delution. Alexander look innocent
eyes wide fries and hair >> like I didn't do anything. I just helped him understand. >> Then he pulled out McDonald's like a peace treaty trade and everyone forgave him for a solid 8 seconds. Okay, thank his softly. This is why I hate joy. Ghost posted I'm done and then rejoined to deploy and Alexander stole Christmas. Yes, they
did. Took the lights, took the gifts, took the bestest grid under the streamyard tree. >> >> They made their great escape. Daddy yelled, "I plan this." While Alexander held the tape and Jamie still mad at Mason. >> The plot stays thick. >> So we're caring through chaos like love that for a sick order in the circle.
We will now review the evidence. One suspicious act 14 unexplained. Got he did a declaration and a receipt from McDonald's that says to >> return the chief think >> in return my peace. >> I'm leaving again. >> I'm leaving. Don't even breathe.
>> And from the back of the room. Come back. >> We need adult supervision. >> They climbed the hill. Counted loot with a grin. God. He made a speech about how he saved the season again. Alexander laughed then got quiet. Stared down at the town, saw the cult still singing even with Christmas gone.
No lights, no gifts, just off key joy. And somehow it hit them like, "Oh, that was the point." Scotty and Alexander almost stole Christmas. Yes, it's true. But the coke kept singing like we always do. So they brought back the lights and a few apologies. Scotty claimed I allowed it for his personal mythology.
Under the stream your tree we cheer then we sigh. Still no beater, but at least the vibes are vi.
Come back Alexandra and bring beat along.

>> Summer in the driver seat. Engine go v. Sunglasses on at midnight. Stealing snacks from a gas lit moon. She don't ask questions.
She just hits the streets. Left turn, right turn. Whoops. Miss the beat. Christine in the back with a dusty old book. A man counting shadows like, "Yo, don't look." They whisper
in riddles. They knock on the door. Meanwhile, summer's already a mile past 4. Some crews run on money. Some run on fear. This one runs on caffeine. Bad idea. Summer's the getaway driver side. Amanda and Christine got secrets stuffed
inside. Two little crib keepers with a spooky disguise. But the car smells like French fries and poor life choices tonight. Yeah, we're rolling. We're rolling. We're barely alive. SUMMER'S THE GETAWAY DRIVER AND she missed every sign.
A man who's got a clipboard, don't know what it's for. Christine says it's destiny, then locks one more door. We talk like profits, but trip on the map. Dropped all the mysteries right under the cap. Some are yelling, y'all. I ain't catching a charge. Christine says relax. This is all part of the art. A man not serious.
Like the plans air tight, but the map's upside down and it's already night. This ain't oceans 11. This is budget five. Half the crew confused, but we're committed to the fire. Summer of the get away duck duck.
Crypto dust flying out the crypt in an urging concern. Two little crypt keepers with receipts in their eyes. But the engines held together with hope and zip ties. Yeah, we're rolling. We're rolling. Emotionally fried. SUMMER'S THE
GETAWAY DRIVER AND SHE definitely liine.
The prophecy is unfolding. The trunk is also unfolding. >> Why is it unfolding? >> Alexander McQueen drive up in car naked.
>>
>> Summer's the getaway driver. Full sand and no shame. keepers arguing who forgot the name. Keys in the ignition. Destiny on delay. Mama stole the snacks and the fire ran away.
Yeah, we're legends in theory, suspects by fire. SUMMER'S THE GETAWAY driver and we still somehow survive.
Sirens in the distance, but it's probably a song. Christine lost the plot. Amanda brought the wrong one. Summer missed the freeway, but she hit the gas anyway. Best worst crew ever doing crime adjacent cavalary.
