Ravenblack Lyrics

You wake up to the screaming darkness
You brave the murk that moves
like a bat in the night
or an afflatus divine?
You're one of those terminal illusions
They're looking through you
They don't care what's inside
if you laugh while you die

You're spinning your cocoon
Now is it really you?
Or is it the expectation that surrounds you?
Choking
Lonely and invisible we run

Fade away
Walls they cave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
drove you up to the gloom
I'm the ravenblack that's there for you

Determination called your name
You feel like a template
screened onto a wall of concrete
by a social elite
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
Receive the blessings of those roads in the night
there's no place in the light
for those
castles in the sky
You sit and wonder why
the ashen hand of reason
wraps its cloak around your dream
Admonitory fingers

You fade away
Walls they cave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
drove you up to the gloom
I'm the ravenblack that's there for you

They say you've got to want it...
on the treadmill
You gotta want it badly
You're predestined to be
what their eyes wanna see:
A terminated fire

Fade away
Walls they cave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
drove you up to the gloom
I'm the ravenblack that's there for you
