Lyrics

Wear your 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

Clutch it like a cornerstone. otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. ignorant to the damage done

Wear your 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 we're 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 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
