Dm Dm Dm C Bb

Dm C

[Verse 1]

You wake up to the screaming darkness

Dm C

You brave the murk that moves

F Bb

Like a bat in the night

Dm C

Or an afflatus divine?

You're one of those terminal illusions

Dm C

They're looking through you

F Bb

They don't care what's inside

Dm C

If you laugh while you die

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Bb

You're spinning your cocoon

Now is it really you

Or is the expectation that surrounds you?

Choking!

Lonely and invisible we run

[Chorus]

Gm Eb Bb F

Fade away! Walls they cave in on you

Gm Eb Bb F

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Gm Eb Bb F

Light of day, drove you out to the gloom

I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Instrumental]

Dm Dm Dm C Bb

[Verse 2]

Determination called your name

You feel like a template screened

F Bb Dm C

Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite

You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere

Receive the blessings of those

F Bb Dm C

Roads in the night there's no place in the light

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Bb

For those castles in the sky

You sit and wonder why

The ashen hand of reason

Wraps its cloak around your dream

Admonitory fingers

[Chorus]

Gm Eb Bb F

You fade away! Walls they cave in on you

Gm Eb Bb F

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Gm Eb Bb F

Light of day, drove you out to the gloom

I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Bridge]

They say you've got to want it

On the treadmill

You gotta want it badly

You're predestined to be

Dm C

What they're eyes wanna see

Eb F7

A terminated fire!

[Chorus]

Gm Eb Bb F

Fade away! Walls they cave in on you

Gm Eb Bb F

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Gm Eb Bb F

Light of day, drove you out to the gloom

I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
