[Verse 1]
Roaches in the cereal
Needles in the sink
Mama on the kitchen floor
Eyes too red to blink
Phone calls through a plexiglass
Talking to a ghost called “Dad”
Judge gave him twenty winters
I learned early what hurt I had
[Chorus]
From hell to home
I made it out
Turned all that pain into a different route
I got a ring on her hand
Got a dog in the yard
Got a key to a door
I once dreamed in the dark
From hell to home
I’m finally free
Everything they broke
I built back as me
[Verse 2]
Slept in cars
Slept in fear
Every cop light felt like him
Every shout from down the hall
Felt like fists against my skin
Now it’s coffee on the front porch
Her laugh running through these rooms
Paws tapping on the hardwood
Chasing shadows
Chasing gloom
[Chorus]
From hell to home
I made it out
Turned all that pain into a different route
I got a ring on her hand
Got a dog in the yard
Got a roof and a garden
Where the ground was scarred
From hell to home
I’m finally free
Everything they broke
I built back as me
[Bridge]
I ain’t erased it
I carry every scar
But they point like a map
To where we are
When the nightmares wake me
She pulls me close
Says
“Breathe” (breathe)
I look at what I’m holding
And I finally believe
[Chorus]
From hell to home
I made it out
Turned all that pain into a different route
I got a wife who knows
Every chapter
Every part
Got a dog on my chest
When the dark gets hard
From hell to home
I’m finally free
I was born in the fire
But I walk in peace
