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 all the ghosts that hide inside your bones
(So you could feed)
'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]

[Bridge: Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood]
I, I make, I make this, I make this into
I make this into what (I make this into what)
I make this into what you always
I make this into what you always keep (I make this into what you always)
(I make) I make this into (I make this) what you always keep from me
Always keep from me
(I make this into, 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 were certain that things were perfect
Of course, I'm bitter thinking things would never change
(I make this)
(What you always)
I can't let go and this is why I always make this into what you keep from me
(Into what you always keep from me)
(What you always)
(You, you, you make this into what you keep from me)
Keep from me
