The speaker is experiencing domestic violence and abuse at home from a family member who drinks too much. They have bruises and are scared, biting their nails at night. They want to break the silence and tell others at school about the problems at home. The violence is getting stronger and the abuser must stop.

1. BREAK THE SILENCE
Hey, This is not the way you have to treat me
You drink too much and that's an issue you’re not well
Hey, how can I explain my friends my bruises
I hope that they will never see them again
I want to tell someone
Thinking what to say in the hell of home
And two years non-stop
Still going everyday to that awful bar
And you-ou-ou must stop
Yes you-ou-ou must stop
So now I'm getng over
tell the school what is the problem
But I’m always too scared
Bite my nails all night and day
Cause you shout to me and my brother
and your violence is getng stronger
you must think we are too quiet
but we are going to break the silence
but we are going to break the silence
but we are going to break the silence
Hey, I was doing just fne before you came home
You drank too much and that’s an issue so I’m scared
Hey, I had to hide my sister from you
Cause I want you not to hurt her again
And It breaks my heart
Bruises in our faces and it hurts a lot
Falling tears, no fun
Now something is broken inside of us
And you-ou-ou must stop
Yes you-ou-ou must stop
So now I'm getng over
tell the school what is the problem
But I’m always too scared
I bite my nails all night and day
Cause you shout to me and my brother
and your violence is getng stronger
you must think we are too quiet
Cause we are going to break the silence
Cause we are going to break the silence
Cause we are going to break the silence

2. CLOSER - original song
Hey, I was doing just fne before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking prety in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't aforr
Bite that tatoo on your shoulrer
Pull the sheets right of the corner
Of the matress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I lef you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking prety in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't aforr
Bite that tatoo on your shoulrer
Pull the sheets right of the corner
Of the matress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
We ain't ever getng olrer
