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 it 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

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
