[Verse 1]
Bm
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Bm A
You brave the murk that moves
D G
Like a bat in the night
Bm A
Or an afflatus divine?
Bm
You're one of those terminal illusions
Bm A
They're looking through you
D G
They don't care what's inside
Bm A
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
You're spinning your cocoon
F#m
Now is it really you
A
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
C
Choking!
D7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Em C G D
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Em C G D
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
F
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm
Determination called your name
A
You feel like a template screened
D G Bm A
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Bm
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
A
Receive the blessings of those
D G Bm A
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G
For those castles in the sky
F#m
You sit and wonder why
A
The ashen hand of reason
C
Wraps its cloak around your dream
D7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Em C G D
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Em C G D
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Em C G D
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
F
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

F#
They say you've got to want it
Bm
On the treadmill
A
You gotta want it badly
D G
You're predestined to be
Bm A
What they're eyes wanna see
C D7
F# terminated fire!
[Chorus]

Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
