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]
[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] Explain Request ×
