Slaves - The Pact lyrics

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 I'm gonna be an open book for you to read The longer I stand up, 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 a shame Scared 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 aways felt that you understand So I fell quietly My family sees all that I am And makes me feel like I can stand up No more weights on my chest now Bridges burned and chances left now Theres some things that I regret now Feel the bliss within me Never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us How I barely know my mother, for that I'm a shame Scared 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 Listen, 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
