"The Grudge"
(Danny Carey / Justin Chancellor / Adam Jones / Maynard James Keenan)

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will and 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, 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 we will and will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet letterman

Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive
And sinking deeper

Defining
Confining
Sinking deeper
Controlling
Defying
And we're sinking deeper

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Lets you choose what you will, will not see again
Drags you down like a stone, or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child; bright 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 oceans take and transmutate
This cold and faded anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and transmutate
These leaden grudges into gold

Let go
