Temper Temper Lyrics

Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Mr., Mr.
I can't hold it in.
No...
Never, never
I had a feeling this would
Never, never
I had a feeling this would never leave,
I've got a wick to burn my skin.

Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Mr., Mr.
I can't hold it in.
No...
Never, never
I had a feeling this would
Never, never
I had a feeling this would never leave,
I've got a wick to burn my skin.
yeah

So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself
and let the anger collect for a better day.
When the words are aged,
The war is waged,
And you'll watch me blow.
I can be your powder keg.
If you can be my fuse.

Clever, clever
Give me a reason to be
Clever, clever
Give me a reason to be
Placing all my trust in your hands.
No...
Never, never
Don't even fuck with me,
Never, never
I tell myself that I know,
but I'll never know more than your name.

So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself
and let the anger collect for a better day.
When the words are aged,
The war is waged,
And you'll watch me blow.
I can be your powder keg.
If you can be my fuse.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry doll,
I only kill him in my sleep.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock at your door.
You know I will send him out to sea

So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself
and let the anger collect for a better day.
When the words are aged,
The war is waged,
And you'll watch me blow.
I can be your powder keg.
If you can be my fuse.

Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Temper, temper
I never wanted to be
Mr., Mr.
I can't hold it in.

I can be your powder keg. If you can be my fuse.

classically original. envy on the coast is a great upcoming band. this particular song is obviously about being hurt, most likely cheated on.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry doll, I only kill him in my sleep.

but I'll never know more than your name.

I do think that it's about being cheated on.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry doll, I only kill him in my sleep.

Pretending not to care but you hate the guy who's cheating on your "doll" with everything inside of you.

eotc fucking rules!!!!!!

Love this song.

I agree with poisons. But I don't think it's specific enough to determine wether or not this guy is watching his "doll" being cheated on and contains his anger to not get involved, or he knows his doll is cheating on him, but contains his anger because he doesn't want to end it.

It's kind of misleading because he says

"place my trust in your hands"

then

"never know more than your name.

I'm flip flopping between how well he knows this doll.

Maybe he doesn't even know how well he knows the "doll"

from Ryan Hunter of Envy on the Coast: "I developed a really bad anger problem in high school. Things got pretty bad at one point. Enough said for this one."
