[Verse 1: Harmless Bendy] I tiptoe through the shadows, Silent as the ink drips down. This studio’s a nightmare, And I’m just a little clown. I hide behind the papers, The echoes twist my name. I feel the whispers growing— This isn’t just a game. But I’m not him, no, I’m not him! I’m just a sketch with a harmless grin! Yet deep inside, I feel the tide— A darkness waits to be unchained. --- [Chorus: Harmless Bendy] There’s a demon within, clawing to break free. A shadow in my soul that’s haunting me. I try to run, I try to hide, But the ink keeps pulling me inside. There’s a demon within, and it’s not me! --- [Verse 2: Harmless Bendy] The cycle turns forever, A loop I can’t escape. I’m harmless, just a doodle, But my heart is draped in hate. His voice, it whispers louder, The monster calls my name. I stumble, I surrender, But I’m not the one to blame! I fight the pull, I fight the scream! But cracks are forming in my dream! No matter how I try to flee— The Ink Demon takes hold of me. --- [Chorus: Harmless Bendy] There’s a demon within, clawing to break free. A shadow in my soul that’s haunting me. I try to run, I try to hide, But the ink keeps pulling me inside. There’s a demon within, and it’s not me! --- [Bridge: The Transformation] (Harmless Bendy) The ink grows colder, it wraps around my chest. I lose my grip; I can’t suppress. I see his eyes, they pierce my core. I’m not myself... I’m something more! (The Ink Demon, rising) The time has come, the chains are gone! No more hiding; I’m reborn! --- [Final Chorus: The Ink Demon] There’s a demon within, now I’m finally free! A nightmare unleashed for eternity. No need to run, no need to hide— The ink consumes, the world is mine. I am the demon within—this is me! --- [Outro: The Ink Demon] The harmless mask is shattered, The demon reigns tonight. The studio’s my kingdom, And darkness claims the light.
