Clade Song 2

Different
 
The redness of these sparrows does not surprise me at all
 
It is a surprise that the sparrows do not understand it
In the morning, they look at my window
peck at the window pane
want me to open it
save them from the polluted air
But, I become spiteful and ignore them
They stay there, then they die
 
And the pain
starts exactly from the place
where you put your hand
Take off your hand from my head
do not bother me
let my headache go away
 
I told you that the sparrows do not have headaches
do not have fevers or shivers
They put their head on a rock and they die calmly
 
It is a surprise that the humans do not understand it
At night, they pass by my window
honk and make extreme noise
want me to close the window
save myself from the polluted sounds
But, I become spiteful and ignore them
I want them to go away and be lost
 
And the pain
starts exactly from the place
where you took your hand from my head
don’t take your hand off my head
bother me and make me busy
let my headache go away
 
I told you that humans have headaches
have fevers and they shiver
they put their head on a pillow and they die calmly
 
In spite of all these things
the redness of these sparrows does not surprise me at all
If you know any asylum
 
let me know
I know a crazy city
intact
They are neither like humans nor sparrows
They just want to be different
That’s it
