[Intro] Down goes the elevator, beneath the city lights, Another shift is waiting where the sun can’t reach the night. A cheerful voice is talking like there’s nothing here to fear, But something in the darkness knows exactly why I’m here. Welcome to the show... Don’t miss your cue. [Verse 1] Cold steel corridors, cameras blinking red, Instructions through the speakers running circles in my head. Circus Baby whispers from somewhere beyond the wall, Says she knows a way to help me, says she’s seen it all. Ballora’s music drifting through the empty room, Every careful footstep disappearing in the gloom. Funtime Freddy’s laughing somewhere out of sight, And every little sound gets closer in the night. [Pre-Chorus] Flip the switch, hold your breath, Another game of life and death. Follow every order, never turn around— There’s something moving when the lights go down. [Chorus] We’re below the surface, buried out of sight, Where smiling faces come alive beneath fluorescent lights. Below the surface, nowhere left to run, The show is never over once the night has begun. Hear the gears turning, hear the voices call, Every secret buried underneath it all. Below the surface, where the shadows wait for me— Welcome to the family. [Verse 2] Maintenance panels, wires tangled tight, Another broken system I’m supposed to make right. Every room’s a puzzle and every door’s a trap, One wrong move and something disappears right off the map. Baby says to trust her, says she knows the way, But every word she gives me makes me wonder if I’ll stay. Pieces coming together, voices becoming one, Ennard waits behind the mask when all the games are done. The Scooping Room is waiting at the end of the hall, And now I know the truth behind the voices in the walls. They never wanted freedom just to vanish in the night— They needed someone else to carry them into the light. [Pre-Chorus] Flip the switch, hold your breath, Every door leads deeper yet. Follow every order, never make a sound— They’ve been planning this while I’ve been underground. [Chorus] We’re below the surface, buried out of sight, Where smiling faces come alive beneath fluorescent lights. Below the surface, nowhere left to run, The show is never over once the night has begun. Hear the gears turning, hear the voices call, Every secret buried underneath it all. Below the surface, where the shadows wait for me— Welcome to the family. [Bridge] You thought you came here looking for answers, You thought you knew what waited below. But every puppet learned from its master, And every secret started to show. Baby, tell me— Was any word you said ever true? Or was I just another open door For all of you? The lights flash white. The curtain falls. One final voice echoes through the halls... “You won’t die.” [Final Chorus] Below the surface, something made it out, Wearing borrowed footsteps while the world knows nothing now. Below the surface, the facility sleeps, But promises made underground are promises it keeps. Hear the gears turning though the building’s standing still, Somewhere in the darkness there’s another waiting thrill. Below the surface, you can leave but never be free— You’re part of the family. [Outro] Elevator rising... Doors opening wide. Leave the underground behind you— But something came outside. The show is over. The lights are gone. So why can I still hear That music playing on?
