BRAND NEW SELF-TITLED EP BY RAVINER ///

black hole 

I’m not your friend
I’m not your enemy
Everything we bled
Drained and empty

You are my black hole
You twist and turn
Push and pull
My deepest light
Concealed, obscured
Through blackest night
Bent and burnt

I’m not your friend
I’m not your enemy
This ain’t no war
This ain’t no remedy

I gave you everything 
you never wanted me

Black Hole

BRAND NEW SELF-TITLED EP BY RAVINER ///

thin ice

what lies
behind the shattered mirror 
thin ice 
just waiting to pull you under 

I can fly 
far away where no one tries to 
find my heart 
abandoned in the dark

holding on for love
holding on for life 
frozen in my heart
trying to survive

you fall deep into the night
you are
you are walking on thin ice 

hands tied 
by the rope that I created 
air tight
screaming trapped beneath the current 

I dissolve
every time you think I’m safe
holding on
will only cause you pain

Thin Ice

animal

one look at me I crumble 
blinded by the light that carries me
hooked on a string I struggle
tangled like a martyr with a broken wing 

you’re just an animal 
you’re just an animal 
you’re just an animal 
you’re just an animal 

you see me like a puzzle 
searching me till you’ve got it figured out
your warning signs are subtle
manipulating me till I feel safe and sound

you’re falling through me now 
I breathe you in and out 
I can’t escape the sound 

one step closer deep in the delusional
floating fast asleep under the chemical
taking over me and then I lose control 
you are my machine you’re just an animal 

you see me like a puzzle 
searching me till you’ve got it figured out
your warning signs are subtle
manipulating me till I feel safe and sound

crawling through the walls inside
raging like a thunderstrike
you will not invade again
I will never let you in (hey!)

you are my machine you’re just an animal

Animal

drown 

I feel the howling wind
as the tide comes in
and it’s stinging like salt in the ocean
can’t take a hold of it
I’m losing sight of this
I’m staring at pieces of my reflection 

I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore

feel it pull in slow from the undertow
drown from the inside
rip apart so close but I can’t let go 
I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore 
everything I know in the depths below 
drown from the inside

open watermark
awakened by the dark 
overflowing my new horizon 
secrets rushing in 
exposing everything 
sunlight piercing my understanding 

the sound of silence rushing through my hands 
the illusion from the deepest end

Drown

red

I met you in the scarlet forest 
you told me that you had a secret 
we’re in the dark
we’re in the dark alone here 
you sold me for a piece of silver 

things quickly change when they’re 
colored in red
colored in red
things quickly change when they’re 
colored in red
colored in red

I ran, I ran so far 
to heal this broken heart
destroyed my missing piece
abandoned everything 
things quickly change when they’re 
colored in red
colored in red
things quickly change when they’re 
colored in red
colored in red

screaming in the silent desert
eyes of white that pull me under
fighting this war
fighting this war
in secret
the light and dark 
that rage between us 

you are the beast inside me 
a violent flame in hiding
you’re the one
you’re the one
you’re the one
you are the shadow that I can’t escape

I feel you in my scars 
but you can’t shut my heart

LYRICS: 

I feel the howling wind
as the tide comes in
and it’s stinging like salt from the ocean

can’t take a hold of it
I’m losing sight of this
I’m staring at pieces of my reflection 

I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore

feel it pull in slow from the undertow
drown from the inside
rip apart so close but I can’t let go 
I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore 
everything I know in the depths below 
drown from the inside

open watermark
awakened by the dark 
overflowing my new horizon 
secrets rushing in 
exposing everything 
sunlight piercing my understanding 

I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore

feel it pull in slow 
from the undertow
drown from the inside
rip apart so close but I can’t let go 
I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore 
everything I know in the depths below 
drown from the inside

the sound of silence rushing through my hands
the illusion from the deepest end 

the sound of silence rushing through my hands
the illusion from the deepest end 

the sound of silence rushing through my hands
the illusion from the deepest end 

the sound of silence rushing through my hands
the illusion from the deepest end 

feel it pull in slow 
from the undertow

rip apart so close but I can’t let go 
I can’t hide it anymore 
left me stranded at the shore 
everything I know in the depths below 
drown from the inside

you’re just an animal 
you’re just an animal 
you’re just an animal

you’re falling through me now
I breathe you in and out
I can’t escape the sound (whoa)


one step closer deep in the delusional floating fast asleep under the chemical taking over me and then I lose control you are my machine
you’re just an animal (you’re just an animal)

I feed you like a virus
taking over everything one by one no matter how I fight it
you’re circling for your next victim

you’re falling through me now
I breathe you in and out
I can’t escape the sound (whoa)
you’re falling through me now
I breathe you in and out
I can’t escape the sound (whoa)

one step closer deep in the delusional
