You pray for quiet

Inside your head the screams won′t silence

I remember those daysThe terror that's 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-stinking breath

Thrown down onto the floor

So battered, bruised and sore

Thrown 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 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 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 a dream

Just be still and pray

These are the memories in me

You didn′t wanna know

You didn′t wanna know

These are the memories we keep

We don't wanna show

We don′t wanna 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
