[Verse 1]

You pray for quiet

But 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

[Verse 2]

The strangleholds

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

Choked down onto the bed

And thrash until you break your neck

[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

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 3]

Retain the violence

Locks up your heart like a secret closet

So no one can penetrate

Just can't stand the touch

Affection weighs too much

You push everyone away

From...

[Verse 4]

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

And I'll pull the trigger on myself

[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

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

[Bridge]

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!

[Refrain]

Hush is all I need

To hush the misery

The hush belongs to me

Like the hush inside a dream

[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

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
