An Awakening - Trial

Are we the dead shuffling faceless

An aimless mass of corpses awaiting a not so distant end

Numb to pleasure numb to pain

Overwhelmed by our surroundings and the traps

We have laid?

To protect innocence from arrogance

We carve this skin of stone

And as the weights of caste and character layer

With the years

We drown at the convergence

Of rivers poisoned by this world

Each moment i let slip by

Every feeling i sacrifice

The emotions which i deny

Drag me down into the depths
