The Grudge Songtext
von Tool

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 we 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

Defining, confining, sinking deeper
Controlling, defining, 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
Let go
