Tantrum (Far From the Tree, the Apple Grew Rotten)

Lyrics

[Intro: Kurt Travis] Save your arms and legs 'cause you're the mother And no one will hold us up for so long We will always resort to fodder We crawl in the cracks, falling through your limbs If she was here, she'd say be careful But she'd already let it go [Verse 1: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Do (Do, ooh) as I say (As I say), ooh Not as I've done (Not as I've done), just trust in me, believe in me When you left me, you didn't leave me a trail to follow No, you just swallowed all the crumbs along the way (So you could feed) So you could feed all the ghosts that hide inside your bones 'Cause maybe if their mouths are full They'll stop whispering that you're better off alone ('Cause maybe if their mouths are full) [Verse 2: Cory Lockwood] It wasn't nice of you to go out without saying goodbye So I think I'll hunt you down and punish you, good luck trying to hide My temper's a teacher with a hell of a lesson plan It wasn't nice of you to go out without saying goodbye So I think I'll hunt you down and punish you, good luck trying to hide My temper's a teacher with a hell of a lesson plan [Bridge: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] You might know this, but I've got a rifle and stifling manners (Oh, ooh) You control this, and any consistency scares me from progress (Oh, ooh) I don't show it, but I'm catching on and can see through the pattern (Oh, ah) Don't talk, read this Your strong upper hand will get lost in the process (Oh, ah) (Got matters to attend to and methods to convince you to stay right where you—) [Breakdown: Cory Lockwood] Are you ready to apologize? I won't believe you But it's worth a few tries Don't look down, look in my eyes, go on and feed me some lies You Lie to me Uh [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Kurt Travis, Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] I, I make, I make this, I make this into I make this into what I make this into what you always I make this into what you always keep (I make) I make this into (I make this) what you (I make this into) Always keep from me Always keep from me (I make this into what you keep from me) I make this into what you always keep from me (I make this into what you always keep from me) I make this into (Just keep from me, keep from me) [Outro: Cory Lockwood, Kurt Travis] Although your secrets are locked away (I make this into what you) You forget that you left me a key on a day that's just memory (Always keep from me, always keep from me) When we were young and were happy When lying on the bed with not a thing to do and words unsaid, we We were certain that things were perfect (Ooh) Of course, I'm bitter thinking things would never change (I make this; I can't let go) I can't let go, and this is why I always make this into what you (Into what you always keep from me) (You always) Keep from me (You, you, you make this into what you keep from me; always keep from me) You keep from me
