[Verse 1] You pray for quiet Inside your head the screams won't silence I remember those days The terror that the home The fear that's in your bones It just won't go away, no The strangle holds The insulting names The wound up shirt around his fist The nose to nose beer stinkin' breath Throw down on to the floor So battered bruised and sore Choked down into the bed And thrash until you break your neck [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 to much You push everyone away From The reckoning The venom 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 [Pre-Chorus+Chorus] [Bridge] These are the memories In me You didn't wanna know You didn't wanna know These are the memories We keep We didn't wanna show We didn't wanna show But now at least you know You're not alone [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus+Chorus]
