Let the Ink Bleed

(Verse 1)

What did you want to show me?

Ink on the ground below me

Start the machine, like a routine

Simple as that, if only

Created a monster

Insane, I’m in need of an answer

Your brain’s an unwieldy commander;

Orchestrated a painted disaster

Stuck in a cycle, escaping is vital

I guess my arrival is long due

It’s a revival, another recital

A spiral of all those who’ve wronged you

Reliving the past won’t help you

No matter how much you attempt to

Bendy’s a memory, lost to this century

That’s what I’m trying to tell you

(Chorus)

Dripping down these paper walls

Are the stains of a broken heart

They say, “empires never fall,”

But instead they are taken apart

Keep on dreaming

Keep on working where you wanna be

Keep on breathing

Don’t give up on what you’ve made for me

Keep on feeling

All the magic that we once believed

Stop the screams

I won’t cease until I’ve let the ink bleed

(Verse 2)

Trapped in this hellscape

I’m guessing it’s my fate

It’s driving me crazy, I’m venturing deeper

And seeking to escape

Enter the world of dreams

Knowing it’s not what it seems

Joey, you built up an empire, amazing

Now why can’t you rest and just leave it be?

Deceiving me

Deception is the key to see your mysteries

Alice is an angel

But by God is she a beast to me

You’ve misconstrued your history

I find it contradictory

You have these different theories

But the truth’s in its simplicity

(Chorus)

Dripping down these paper walls

Are the stains of a broken heart

They say, “empires never fall,”

But instead they are taken apart

Keep on dreaming

Keep on working where you wanna be

Keep on breathing

Don’t give up on what you’ve made for me

Keep on feeling

All the magic that we once believed

Stop the screams

I won’t cease until I’ve let the ink bleed

Let the ink bleed
