ravenblack

edguy

you wake up to the screaming darkness

you brave the murk that moves

like a bat in the night

or an afllatus 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 the expectation that surrounds you?

choking!

lonely and invisible we run

fade away!

walls they gave 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 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 gave 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 got to want it

on the treadmill

you gotta want it badly

you're predestined to be

what they're eyes wanna see

a terminated fire!

fade away!

walls they gave 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
