Lyrics
Home Is Where The Hurt Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The walls of your house were built from guilt and shame
Your dad hit, and your mom cried
You were stuck in your corner of the world
No one saw, heard, or cared anyway
You glanced at everyone else, but chose to be alone
Because what if they found out? What if someone saw?
What if daddy thought you had tattled?
You stopped crying, no one cared
You wanted to be someone, but no one noticed you
Dad released his anger
And the bruises painted your skin
In your room, you planned to escape
To disappear, to be forgotten
The first time you hit, a piece of you died
But the darkness shattered
For once, you were not weak and for each blow the fear vanished
You were no longer afraid, when you hit, you felt strong
Mammas gråt
Sjönk in som knivar
Under dina revben
Under dina revben
Punkterade ditt hjärta
Och lät dig blöda ut
På insidan hade du brunnit så länge
Att du nästan blivit till aska
In the darkness, I screamed words that no one heard
In the darkness, I screamed words that no one heard
When I grow up, I will never be like them
Daddy, please love me, mommy, please see me
Anybody, help me
When I grow up, I will never be like them
Daddy, please love me, mommy, please see me
Anybody, help me
