LYRICS:
I’ll show you the truth,
I’ll show you your purpose.
Just a pencil and a dream,
Created for entertainment.
He lives on through us,
Born from darkness, born from lust,
‘Cuz when we reach the end,
We do it all over again.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
It’s a joyless job,
When your heart’s running empty at the seams,
But after eons filling up the bottle,
Sitting on a desperate pencil and a dream.
Well, the void was filled when you lived,
To the empty ink, then we would sink,
To the beat of a cog wheel turning,
Love was the fuel that kept me from burning,
To create this finest design,
You need a magic darker than mine,
And a kiss from the angels casting demons down the bottom line.
So wonderful how deep the love can flow,
‘Cuz when you came into my life,
I couldn’t bare to let go,
But the curtain came to close.
He lives on through us,
We’re born from darkness, born from lust,
‘Cuz when we reach the end,
We do it all over again.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
(We built this machine.)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
(You came to life.)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
In the dark nightmare,
See the spotlight glare,
And accept your fate in time.
In the dark nightmare,
See the spotlight glare,
And accept your fate in time.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.

Cheers for having me on the song! Was super fun to write and help out, came out KILLER :D 💖
-
Thanks for having me on the animation for this! Bendy is cool :)
-
I love how powerful the imagery is at 1:25. It's like Joey was a being of hate and darkness, and the all consuming power of love purified him. But since he had no love himself, when he was purified, there was nothing left of him once he accepted the love and let it consume him, just like the darkness once had.

I just love the way they approached this. It’s not the common immense horror. CG5 put all of the spices of the game into one dish, and created a never thought masterpiece. The fact that it’s like hopeful and sad and scary is just hard to take in. The verse “So wonderful how deep the love can flow!” is just to powerful, it shows how much Joey drew loved his project. And finally, Audrey, the song shows her hope, and determination while also feeling sadness along the way of her journey. I love how CG5 isn’t just one type of artist, he’s multiple, pop, rock, horror, and etc. Congrats CG5 on this masterpiece, I’m not the only one loving this, 2.7 Thousand commenters all complementing you on one song out of hundreds already here and millions more to come, and there is probably still more people that listened to the song without going on YouTube and commenting. You have gone from 1 to 3.81 Million subscribers, and still more to come. Congratulations again, take care YouTube travelers. Edit- bro y’all really took your time to get this to 650 likes man what an accomplishment Edit 2- bro.

Cg5’s voice is genuinely angelic in his slow songs like this but combined with the soulful bombastic voice from Will is just icing on the cake.
-
Oh gosh, are we back to the wonderful times of 2017? 🔥 Thanks to Charlie and Ryan for still being able to give this community such songs! This song came out cool, the rap from Joey Drew is something 😄
-
this genuinely hits you in a soft spot, the amount of story telling within just 3 minutes is inedible, the beat drop is amazing, the rap is so addicting, and when i saw Henry again, i cried like a baby.
-
I’m pretty sure the song was inspired by the quote from the game “Just because we’re born of darkness, doesn’t mean we belong to it.” It does that very well with lyrics and instrumentals that elicit feelings of both dark feelings like despair and regret but also bright feelings like hope and love. It well represents how people live on not in their grand achievements, but their real ones, their family, the ones they held dear. “The children of the machine” in the song are representative of what we create in our life, the same thing we can use to create our demons are the same thing we can use to create our sons or daughters, and I think that’s powerful.
-
This song reflects how much the events of the story impacted the lives of the others, rather than just the "big scary monsters," and I feel like we need more songs like this to shed light on the tragedy going on behind the scenes. Amazing song to all who worked on it, definitely going on my favorites :D

0:59 the deeper vocals really make a contrast between cg5 its really great
-
1:50 i love the Build our Machine references, so nostalgic.
-
I love it when a song is able to pick out the themes from a game and reflect them. My favorite is "He lives on through us, born from darkness, born from lust" I love the idea of an artist and their ideals living on through their art, being sung about by that art. Such a cool perspective!
-
This is gorgeous and so worth the wait. We need more Bendy songs like this.
-
This song takes up a very well-deserved place on the internet. Fantastic job, everyone who worked on this 8 months ago! I've watched this video numerous times, and the love for the game, the creator, and fandom is strewn lovingly throughout. Enough to make me cry.
-
This is so... beautiful Like, you can feel all their love and passion through their voices.
-
Seeing a new bendy and the ink machine song really put me through a massive nostalgic trip. Can't believe these bangers are still coming.
-
Gotta love the double meaning with the chorus; one being the fallen ink monsters in the alternate world singing of their despair, and the other being Audrey and Bendy, with the chorus changing from despair to hope. Kinda hard to write it all out, but it's well done.
-
I’ve been non stop listening to this song for the past 4 weeks, it’s just honestly that good.
-
0:32 that was the best beat drop ever
