[English]

Information making me question

Our relation to the nation

All religion, supersonic

My existence, you can't resist us

Clearly, I find myself living inside a shelf

All of these pages can't help

Got all my introspect, mirrors, they don't reflect

All of the things that we do

...

My exi-
