You pray for quiet,
Bdim/F
inside your head the screams won't silence,

I remember those days.

The terror past our home,
Bdim/F
the fear that's in your bones,
F5Em
it just won't go away, no.
Verse 3
F5
The strangle holds,
G5
the insulting names,
A5
the wound up shirt around his fist,
G5F5
the nose to nose beer stinking breath.
Verse 4
F5
Throw down on to the floor,
G5A5
so battered, bruised, and sore,
A5
choke down on the truth of it,
G5
and touch it until you break your neck.
Chorus
F5E5D5
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,
C5A5
to hush the misery,

like the hush inside of dreams.

Just be still and pray,
Em
and let the noise just fade away.

Retain the violence,
Bdim/F
atop your heart like a secret closet,

so no one can penetrate.

F5
You just can't stand the touch,
Bdim/F
affection weighs to much,
F5DmE
you push everyone away, from...
Verse 7
F5G5
The reckoning, the bitter stings,
A5
whipped so bad I p**sed myself,
G5F5
still with a beating stub held belt.
Verse 8

If this reminds you of home,
G5A5
you better know you're not alone,
A5
hold the gun up to my head,
G5
I'll pull the trigger on myself.
