the animal of my body wears a checkered pattern shirt
and my circle has always transformed to square
silence never turns into greatness
no shame is left to say I’m mute
and my instinct is a god
who nailed me on four sides
I’m not ashamed of saying
a tree that I’ve got no clue what it is
the sun that I’ve got no clue what it is
got no clue
if you push back god
anything will fall from the tree or not?
