The Pact - Slaves

I’m gonna let you in on a secret, I’m so afraid

Of letting my skeletons out, so I bottle them in

But I know it’s gonna get out in the worst way, so I gave in

Now I’m gonna be an open book for you to read

The longer I stay numb, the longer I don’t have to think much

I never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us

How I barely know my mother, for that I’m ashamed

Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away

Let’s make a pact right here, right now

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well I stay honest, you do the same

I’ll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this

These tougher days

These tougher days

I always felt that you won’t understand

So I bled out quietly

The medicine held my hand

And made me feel like I can stand up

The toll it’s taking on my chest now

Bridges burning and chances left out

List of things that I regret now

Build up this resentment

The longer I stay numb, the longer I don’t have to think much

Never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us

How I barely know my mother, for that I’m ashamed

Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well I stay honest, you do the same

I’ll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this

These tougher days

Listen, let’s make a pact right here, right now

Let’s make a pact right here, right now

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well I stay honest, you do the same

I’ll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this

These tougher days
