A closed humanity
Holding on to an absurd life
Can't stand on its own bottom
And we think it's all the same
Yes, evermore the same everliving doubts that never come to an end
A closed humanity
Selfbranded, alienating, clockwork, double-faced
(And we know it's not by chance)
Stimulates instinct of domination and glorifies shallowbrained things
My closed humanity
Refuses the worm in the conscience and prefers a treasure of security
Ineffectual schemes of existence
Frivolous freaks and meanness
My closed humanity, our lost humanity
