Ravenblack

You wake up to the screamin' darkness

You brave the murk that moves

Like a bat in the night or afflatus divine

You're one of those terminal illusions

They're lookin' through you

They don't care what's inside if you laugh while you die

You're spinning your cocoon, now is it really you

Or is it the expectation that surrounds you? Chokin'

Lonely and invisible we run

Fade away, walls they cave in on you

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Light of day drove you out to the gloom

I'm the ravenblack that's there for you

Determination called your name

You feel like a template screened

Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite

You dwell on thoughts of bein' elsewhere

Receive the blessings of those

Roads in the night, there's no place in the light for those

Castles in the sky, you sit and wonder why

The ashen hand of Reason wraps its cloak around your dream

Admonitory fingers

You fade away, walls they cave in on you

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Light of day drove you out to the gloom

I'm the ravenblack that's there for you

They say you've gotta want it on the treadmill

You gotta want it badly

You're predestined to be what their eyes wanna see

A terminated fire

Fade away, walls they cave in on you

I'm the ground that's gonna open

Light of day drove you out to the gloom

I'm the ravenblack that's there for you
