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
