Tool - The Grudge Lyrics

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

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 you will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

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

Definin'
Confinin'
Sinking deeper

Controllin'
Definin'
And we're sinking deeper

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's 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 till you

Choose to
Let this go
Choose to
Let this go

Give away the stone, let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone, let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold

Ahh!

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
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!
