[Verse 1]
Em
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Em D
You brave the murk that moves
G C
Like a bat in the night
Em D
Or an afflatus divine?
Em
You're one of those terminal illusions
Em D
They're looking through you
G C
They don't care what's inside
Em D
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
You're spinning your cocoon
Bm
Now is it really you
D
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
F
Choking!
G7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Am F C G
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Am F C G
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
A#
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em
Determination called your name
D
You feel like a template screened
G C Em D
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Em
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
D
Receive the blessings of those
G C Em D
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
For those castles in the sky
Bm
You sit and wonder why
D
The ashen hand of reason
F
Wraps its cloak around your dream
G7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Am F C G
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Am F C G
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Am F C G
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
A#
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Bridge]
B
They say you've got to want it
Em
On the treadmill
D
You gotta want it badly
G C
You're predestined to be
Em D
What they're eyes wanna see
F G7
B terminated fire!
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Am F C G
I'm the ground that's gonna open

Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
