[Verse 1]
C#m
You wake up to the screaming darkness
C#m B
You brave the murk that moves
E A
Like a bat in the night
C#m B
Or an afflatus divine?
C#m
You're one of those terminal illusions
C#m B
They're looking through you
E A
They don't care what's inside
C#m B
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
You're spinning your cocoon
G#m
Now is it really you
B
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
D
Choking!
E7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
F#m D A E
I'm the ground that's gonna open
F#m D A E
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
G
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C#m
Determination called your name
B
You feel like a template screened
E A C#m B
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
C#m
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
B
Receive the blessings of those
E A C#m B
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
For those castles in the sky
G#m
You sit and wonder why
B
The ashen hand of reason
D
Wraps its cloak around your dream
E7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
F#m D A E
I'm the ground that's gonna open
F#m D A E
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
G
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Bridge]
G#
They say you've got to want it
C#m
On the treadmill
B
You gotta want it badly
E A
You're predestined to be
C#m B
What they're eyes wanna see
D E7
G# terminated fire!
[Chorus]

Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
