[Verse 1] Midnight oil on the pages Candle coughing in the hall Every knock feels contagious Every echo crawls the wall
Feathers drag through the silence Beak like a question mark Perched above all my violence Black flame in the dark
I said “leave” to the memory It just leaned in more Every beat in my chest Was a locked Old door
[Chorus] There’s a raven in my doorway Saying “never Nevermore” Every hope I tried to bury It just claws up through the floor Got a question on my tongue But it’s heard it all before Raven in my doorway Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)
[Verse 2] All the letters I have folded All the names I never speak Stacked like bones in the corner Dust collecting every week
Eyes like polished obsidian Pinned me to my chair How can silence feel so final When you’re gasping for the air
I said “leave me to my fading” It just spread its wings All my failures fluttered Like a storm of rings
[Chorus] There’s a raven in my doorway Saying “never Nevermore” Every hope I tried to bury It just claws up through the floor Got a question on my tongue But it’s heard it all before Raven in my doorway Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)
Tap of claws on the molding Tick of time on the vein Every “never” that it’s folding Is another link in the chain (oh)
If I rise If I run It will follow It will soar ’Cause the bird is not the visitor It’s the lock inside the door
[Chorus] There’s a raven in my doorway Saying “never Nevermore” Every hope I tried to bury It just claws up through the floor Got a question on my tongue But it’s heard it all before Raven in my doorway Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)

[Verse 1]
Midnight oil on the pages
Candle coughing in the hall
Every knock feels contagious
Every echo crawls the wall
Feathers drag through the silence
Beak like a question mark
Perched above all my violence
Black flame in the dark
I said “leave” to the memory
It just leaned in more
Every beat in my chest
Was a locked
Old door
[Chorus]
There’s a raven in my doorway
Saying “never
Nevermore”
Every hope I tried to bury
It just claws up through the floor
Got a question on my tongue
But it’s heard it all before
Raven in my doorway
Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)
[Verse 2]
All the letters I have folded
All the names I never speak
Stacked like bones in the corner
Dust collecting every week
Eyes like polished obsidian
Pinned me to my chair
How can silence feel so final
When you’re gasping for the air
I said “leave me to my fading”
It just spread its wings
All my failures fluttered
Like a storm of rings
[Chorus]
There’s a raven in my doorway
Saying “never
Nevermore”
Every hope I tried to bury
It just claws up through the floor
Got a question on my tongue
But it’s heard it all before
Raven in my doorway
Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)
Tap of claws on the molding
Tick of time on the vein
Every “never” that it’s folding
Is another link in the chain (oh)
If I rise
If I run
It will follow
It will soar
’Cause the bird is not the visitor
It’s the lock inside the door
[Chorus]
There’s a raven in my doorway
Saying “never
Nevermore”
Every hope I tried to bury
It just claws up through the floor
Got a question on my tongue
But it’s heard it all before
Raven in my doorway
Raven crying “nevermore” (nevermore)
