"Hush" You pray for quiet, Inside your head the 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 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 to 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...
