[Verse 1]
Am
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Am G
You brave the murk that moves
C F
Like a bat in the night
Am G
Or an afflatus divine?
Am
You're one of those terminal illusions
Am G
They're looking through you
C F
They don't care what's inside
Am G
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
You're spinning your cocoon
Em
Now is it really you
G
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
A#
Choking!
C7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Dm A# F C
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Dm A# F C
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Eb
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Am
Determination called your name
G
You feel like a template screened
C F Am G
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Am
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
G
Receive the blessings of those
C F Am G
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
For those castles in the sky
Em
You sit and wonder why
G
The ashen hand of reason
A#
Wraps its cloak around your dream
C7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Dm A# F C
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Dm A# F C
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Eb
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Bridge]
E
They say you've got to want it
Am
On the treadmill
G
You gotta want it badly
C F
You're predestined to be
Am G
What they're eyes wanna see
A# C7
E terminated fire!
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Dm A# F C
I'm the ground that's gonna open
