[Verse 1]
I walked in with my name
You left it on the wall
Bendy in the hallway
Grinning through the crawl
Boris at the door
Like he knows my shame
Alice says, “Be careful”
Then she calls me by my blame
[Pre-Chorus]
The floor starts breathing
The tubes all twitch
Joey said, “Keep running”
But the room won’t switch
Ink on my fingers
Ink in my veins
The Creator’s shadow
Calling out my name
[Chorus]
In the ink, in the ink
I can’t get clean
In the ink, in the ink
You know what I mean
Bendy laughs
Boris hides
Alice shines
Then she turns the knife
In the ink, in the ink
I fall again
In the ink, in the ink
Till the end
[Verse 2]
You sold me a promise
Wrapped in black and gold
But every sweet word
Came out thin and cold
Joey, you were lying
With a polished grin
Now the whole machine is
Dragging me back in
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls keep singing
My steps come apart
I see my old face
Scratched into the dark
Ink on my collar
Ink on my hands
The Creator’s laughing
Like he understands
[Chorus]
In the ink, in the ink
I can’t get clean
In the ink, in the ink
You know what I mean
Bendy laughs
Boris hides
Alice shines
Then she turns the knife
In the ink, in the ink
I fall again
In the ink, in the ink
Till the end
[Bridge]
If I tear the paper
If I break the frame
Will you still remember
Or just write my name?
Joey made the monster
Then he closed the door
Now I hear him breathing
From the deeper floor
[Final Chorus]
In the ink, in the ink
I can’t get clean
In the ink, in the ink
You know what I mean
Bendy laughs
Boris hides
Alice shines
Then she turns the knife
In the ink, in the ink
I fall again
In the ink, in the ink
Till the end
