Ink in the Hall

Lyrics

Intro
[M] Black ink on the floorboards
[M] Hear that room start to moan
[M] Every door got a warning
[M] Every wall got a throat

Verse 1
[M] I walked in, bad idea
[M] Cartoon grin, but it ain't all cheer
[M] Lost in a studio, six feet wide
[M] Pages turn when the shadows slide
[M] Search that reel, hit that switch
[M] Find that key in the sketchbook glitch
[M] Pipes hiss and the bathtubs groan
[M] Something under the ink says home
[M] Joey's lies in the ceiling stain
[M] Alice sings with a broken brain
[M] Boris runs, I keep pace
[M] One wrong step and the floor gets face
[M] Ink drip fast, my pulse go hard
[M] Locked in halls with the cut-out art
[M] I don't pray, I keep my breath
[M] Chase that exit, dodge that death

Pre-Chorus
[M] Hear the projector click
[M] Hear the whole room shift
[M] One more turn, one more clue
[M] I was never meant for you

Chorus
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Run, boy, run before you sink
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Smile too wide, watch the room blink
[M] Ink on my shoes, fear on my tongue
[M] Old-time curse, and I ain't done
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Say my name, then the walls go thin

Verse 2
[Bendy] Well now, what a fine little trespass
[Bendy] Tiptoe through my picture show
[Bendy] Hear them horns and the old time snap
[Bendy] I drag your bones where the black things grow
[Bendy] You press that lever, you fix that light
[Bendy] You scurry like a rabbit in the night
[Bendy] Little man, with your brave little grin
[Bendy] But the ink always wins, always wins
[Bendy] I crawl through the frame, I slip through the seam
[Bendy] I was drawn in pain, I live in your dream
[Bendy] Them drums go boom while I stalk these halls
[Bendy] I leave wet prints on the studio walls
[Bendy] Boris won't save you, Alice won't lie
[Bendy] When the demon gets hungry, the angels die
[Bendy] So ring that bell and count your fright
[Bendy] I'm the last damn thing you see tonight

Chorus
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Run, boy, run before you sink
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Smile too wide, watch the room blink
[M] Ink on my shoes, fear on my tongue
[M] Old-time curse, and I ain't done
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Say my name, then the walls go thin

Bridge
[M] [Beat drops to half-time]
[M] Basement steps, cold and bare
[M] One last reel, one last prayer
[Bendy] Oh, darling, don't you flee
[Bendy] You were made to dance with me
[M] Flash that light, make me mad
[M] Hear him laugh, make me glad
[Bendy] Deeper now, that voice is mine
[Bendy] Ink demon crowned, and the clock don't chime

Final Chorus
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Run, boy, run before you sink
[M] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[M] Smile too wide, watch the room blink
[M] Ink on my shoes, fear on my tongue
[M] Old-time curse, and I ain't done
[Bendy] Bendy in the ink, bendy in the ink
[Bendy] Draw your last breath when the sirens sing
