Trapped Under Ice

Trapped under ice, you can not breathe
Water in lungs as you try to scream
Through the ice a distorted truth
The only thing looking back at you

Drowning in a sea of lies
Shut your mind and close your eyes
Just parrot what they say
Blissful are the ignorant

Keep on floating along the stream
Don't you struggle or dare to dream
Killing thoughts, suppressing feelings
Never question or ask for meaning

Woken by the thought of reason
Seeing through the intellectual treason
With final strength you break the ice
Salvaged on the shores of life
