Lyrics for The Contract

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds I check the clock, wondering what he’ll pull this time I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside And I’m just trying to stay quiet I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that Promises and contracts I used to keep I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that My hallucination I used to see Wake up and I find out, did a change up Wait — Did it change up? Is it light out yet? Better find out. Bet Imma walk around the edge of the room And the bed where I hide my face Pace around Better try to breathe Pace around, Pace around I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds I check the clock, wondering what he’ll pull this time I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside And I’m just trying to stay quiet I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that Promises and contracts I used to keep I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that My hallucination I used to see (I used to see) (Sleep I found) I wanna get out there But I don’t try I wanna get out there But I don’t try I check the clock, wondering what he’ll pull this time I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside And I’m just trying to stay quiet I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that Promises and contracts I used to keep I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that My hallucination I used to see My hallucination I used to see I used to see It felt so real But now I plead Just take the deal I promised you A contract I promised you A contract
