You wake up to the screaming darkness
You brave the murk that moves
like a bat in the night
or an afflatus divine?
You’re one of those terminal illusions
They’re looking 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?
Choking!
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 up 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 being 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 up to the gloom
I’m the ravenblack that’s there for you
They say you’ve got to 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 up to the gloom
I’m the ravenblack that’s there for you
