[Verse 1]
Gm
You wake up to the screaming darkness
Gm F
You brave the murk that moves
A# Eb
Like a bat in the night
Gm F
Or an afflatus divine?
Gm
You're one of those terminal illusions
Gm F
They're looking through you
A# Eb
They don't care what's inside
Gm F
If you laugh while you die
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Eb
You're spinning your cocoon
Dm
Now is it really you
F
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
Ab
Choking!
A#7
Lonely and invisible we run
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb A#
Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Cm Ab Eb A#
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Cm Ab Eb A#
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Db
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Gm
Determination called your name
F
You feel like a template screened
A# Eb Gm F
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
Gm
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
F
Receive the blessings of those
A# Eb Gm F
Roads in the night there's no place in the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Eb
For those castles in the sky
Dm
You sit and wonder why
F
The ashen hand of reason
Ab
Wraps its cloak around your dream
A#7
Admonitory fingers
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb A#
You fade away! Walls they cave in on you
Cm Ab Eb A#
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Cm Ab Eb A#
Light of day, drove you out to the gloom
Db
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you

[Bridge]
D
They say you've got to want it
Gm
On the treadmill
F
You gotta want it badly
A# Eb
You're predestined to be
Gm F
What they're eyes wanna see
Ab A#7
D terminated fire!
[Chorus]

Fade away! Walls they cave in on you
