Rotten Apples

Took a long trip to try to get it right
 They heard the crickets singing in the trees
 And the slow parade
 Of the whole thing coming down
 City lights were fireflys
 From the hill on the edge of town
 I know that you had to change and
 At the time I didn't blame you
 I just sort of took it personal
 I think you like the taste of sugar coated rotten apples
 I think I look funny with that hat on
 People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
 I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
 Right as I was changing realized I did
 "Shut your mouth, you stupid boy.
 You just don't understand."
 So I went looking for surrender
 Looking for pretenders
 Waiting all the time
 Had so much love that I didn't know what to do
 So I wasted it (on petty crimes?)
 If you want to change then you gotta grow
 If you want to change then you gotta wait for it
 If you gotta change then you gotta grow
 If you gotta change then you gotta do it my way
 People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
 I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
 Right as I was changing realized I did
 "Shut your mouth, you stupid boy.
 You just don't understand."
 I understand perfectly!
