[Verse 1]
F
You pray for quiet,
Inside your head the screams won’t silence;
A
I remember those days...
F
The terror that's our home; the fear that’s in your bones,
D E
It just won’t go away... NO...
[Pre-Chorus]
F G A
The strangle holds, the insulting names,
A G F
The wound up shirt around his fist; the nose to nose beer-stinking breath.
F G A
Thrown down onto the floor, so battered, bruised and sore
A G F
Choke down onto the bed, and thrash until you break your neck
[Chorus]
F E D C A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
A C G C F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
F E D C A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
A C G C F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
F E D
Just be still and pray... and let the noise just fade away.
[Verse 2]
F
Retain to violence;
Atop your heart like a secret closet,
A
So no one can penetrate...
F
You just can’t stand the touch; affection weighs too much,
D E
You push everyone away from...
[Pre-Chorus]
F G A
The reckoning! The venom stings,
A G F
Whipped so bad I pissed myself; still wear the beatings of that belt
F G A
If this reminds you of home, you better know you’re not alone
A G F
Hold the gun up to my head, I'll pull the trigger on myself!!!
[Chorus]
F E D C A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
A C G C F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
F E D C A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
A C G C F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
F E D
Just be still and pray... and let the noise just fade away.
[Bridge]
A# F G
These are the memories... In me
G A A#
You didn’t wanna know! You didn’t wanna know!
A# F G
These are the memories we keep
G A F
We don’t wanna show! We don’t wanna show!
F
But now at least you know, you’re not alone
F E D C A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
A C G C F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
[Chorus]
F E D C A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
A C G C F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
F E D C A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
A C G C F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
F E D
Just be still and pray... and let the noise just fade away.
