Hush (Live in Australia 2015)

[Verse 1]
You pray for quiet
Inside your head the screams won't silence
I remember those days

The terror that 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 stinkin' breath

Throw down on to the floor
So battered bruised and sore
Choked down into the bed
And thrash until you break your neck

[Pre-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

[Chorus]
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 2]
Retain the violence
Locks up your heart like a secret closet
So no one can penetrate

You just can't stand the touch
Affection weighs to 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 a gun up to my head
I'll pull the trigger on myself

[Pre-Chorus+Chorus]

[Bridge]
These are the memories
In me
You didn't wanna know
You didn't wanna know

These are the memories
We keep
We didn't wanna show
We didn't wanna show

But now at least you know
You're not alone

[Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus+Chorus]
