Lyrics
You pray for quiet
Inside your head the screams won't silence
I remember those days
The terror past our home
The fear that's in your bones
it just won't go away no
The strangle holds, the insulting names
The world of shit around his fist, the nose to nose beer stinking breath
Thrown down onto the floor so battered bruised and sore
choke down on the truth of it and touch it 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 of dreams
Just be still and pray
And let the noise just fade away.
Retain to violence
atop 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 with 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
(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 of dreams
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 want to show! We don't want to show!
But now you need to know, you're not alone
Hush is all I need, hush the misery
Hush belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
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 of dreams
Just be still and pray and let the noise just fade away

Meaning of the song

Does the song have a meaning? If so, what is it?
The song Is about violence and bullying. Ive interpreted this as an
abusive father and husband who is repeating actions which were forced
upon him when he was a child.
How will your visuals relate to the song? (Illustrate, Amplify or Disjuncture)
