You pray for quiet
Inside your head, those screams won't silence
I remember those days
The terror that's the home
The fear that's in your bones
It just won't go away, no
The strangled holds
The insulting names
The wound up shirt around his fist
The nose-to-nose beer stinking breath
Thrown down onto the floor
So battered, bruised, and sore
Drove down onto the bed
And thrash 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 a dream
Just be still and pray,
And let the noise just fade away
Retain the violence,
Locks up 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 vennom stings
Whipped so bad, I pissed myself
Still wear the beatings from that belt
If this reminds you of home,
You better know you're not alone
Hold a 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
Is like the hush inside a dream
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
But now, at least you know
You're not alone
Hush is all I need
Hush the misery
Hush belongs to me
Like the hush inside a dream
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 a dream
Just be still and pray
And let the noise just fade away
