Hey guys!
Super excited to finally be able to release this one - it was conceptualized early this year, but I wasn't really serious about finishing it back then. Full credit to my great friend Victor McKnight for counseling me and encouraging me to go ahead with it~
He also provided some very appreciated production pointers that were well needed when I had mixed for too long to listen objectively!
I am very thankful to have Swiblet on board for this song - he is a very good boi and you should all go check him out! His vocals provided depth that I would never have reached otherwise, and the character of his voice fit the part better than I could have ever hoped for. :) Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Swiblet
Also super happy to work with my bro Dryhands again in the art department - he did an incredible job at making Bendy look even grimier and scarier than normal! Check him out here: https://twitter.com/Lunatic_Sinsack
If you'd like to use this song for a project of any sort, that's totally fine as long as you get the song from one of the stores linked above - there's an instrumental version available there too. :)
I put together a meme-heavy behind the scenes video if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53M1O4NKWIQ

LYRICS:
Conceived to light their darkest days
The creator lied to us
Conspired to grant us this life
Before they gave in to fear
Run, I feel your scent
You'll flow down the wall like ink before long
Chewed up by the gears of what made me like this
And through the walls it fills with ink
Soon after awaits silence
Stay out of sight
Beware the ink demon
Their gazes have poisoned him
What hides behind this mask I wear?
We flow together
We're all betrayed creations
A lie we tried to believe
We're nothing but abyssal corrupted souls
We flow together
His words, all his vows
We all took to heart
A lie we had to believe
