‘Reassurance against a dark tide’ aka ‘The Sound of Life’
How small and invisible can one possibly become? How deep do I have to dig to get some peace? Is it deeper than a grave?

Precipice
You can’t just fight against a system and dismantle it, because then people will have nothing, and people fear nothing more than the devil that they know.

Come out to play
We close our eyes to wintertime And see a sunny day While rich and poor are going blind Under electric candlelight
