You pray for quiet
Inside you head the screams won't silence
I remember those days
The terror past our home, the fear that's in your bones
It just won't go away, No
The strangle holds, the insulting names
The world of shit around his fist
The nose to nose beer stinking breath
Thrown down onto the floor, so battered, bruised and sore
Choke down on the truth of it, and touch it until you break your neck
Hell's where I was born
Hell's where I was raised
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay
The hush is all I need
To hush the misery
The hush that belongs to me
Like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray
And let the noise just fade away
Retain to violence
Atop your heart like a secret closet
So no one can penetrate
You just can't stand the touch; affection weighs too much
You push everyone away from
The reckoning! The bitter stings
Whipped so bad I pissed myself
Still with a beating stub held belt
If this reminds you of home
You better know you're not alone
Hold the gun up to my head
I'll pull the trigger on myself
Hell's where I was born
Hell's where I was raised
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay
The hush is all I need
To hush the misery
The hush that belongs to me
Like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray
These are the memories in me
You didn't want to know!
You didn't want to know!
These are the memories we keep
We don't want to show!
We don't want to show!
By now you need to know, you're not alone
Hush is all I need
Hush the misery
Hush belongs to me
Like the hush inside of dreams
Hell's where I was born
Hell's where I was raised
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay
The hush is all I need
To hush the misery
The hush that belongs to me
Like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray
And let the noise just fade away
