The Grudge Lyrics

Wear the grudge like a crown

Of negativity

Calculate what you will

Will not tolerate

Desperate to control

All and everything

Unable to forgive

Your scarlet letterman

Clutch it like a cornerstone

Otherwise it all comes down

Justify denials and

Grip 'em to the lonesome end

Clutch it like a cornerstone

Otherwise it all comes down

Terrified of being wrong

Ultimatum prison cell

Saturn ascends

Choose one or ten

Hang on or be

Humbled again

Humbled again

Clutch it like a cornerstone (crescendo)

Otherwise it all comes down

Justify denials and

Grip 'em to the lonesome end

Saturn ascends

Comes 'round again

Saturn ascends

The one, the ten

Ignorant to

The damage done

Wear the grudge like a crown

Of negativity

Calculate what you will

Will not tolerate

Desperate to control

All and everything

Unable to forgive

Your scarlet letterman

Wear the grudge like a crown (crescendo)

Desperate to control

Unable to forgive

And sinking deeper

Defining

Confining

Sinking deeper (sometimes says "AND sinking deeper" in concert)

Controlling

Defining

And we're sinking deeper

Saturn comes back around

To show you everything

Lets you choose what you will

Will not see and then

Drags you down like a stone

Or lifts you up again

Spits you out like a child

Light and innocent

Saturn comes back around

Lifts you up like a child

Or drags you down like a stone

To consume you 'til you

Choose to

Let this go

Choose to

Let this go

Give away the stone

Let the ocean take and transmutate

This cold and fated anchor

Give away the stone

Let the waters kiss and transmutate

These leaden grudges into gold

(gold... gold... gold... gold... gold... 

gold... gold... gold... gold...) (decrescendo)

Let go (crescendo)

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go (crescendo)
