Intro:
[C7+-C-C7+-C]

C7+Fourteen Cyears
C7+Thirty Cminutes
Fifteen Asus2seconds aI've
Asus2Held this agrudge

Eleven songs
Four full journals
Thoughts of punishment
I've expended

Not in contact
Not a letter
Such communication
Telepathic

You've been vilified
Used as fodder
You deserve a piece
Of every record

dBut who's it hurting Cnow? [C7+-C]
dWho's the one that's Cstuck?[C7+-C]

dWho's it torturing Cnow
With an Cantique knot in her Gstomach?


I want to be Cbig and let C7+go
Of this grudge that's grown Cold
All this time I've not C7+known

How to rest this byCgone
I wanna be soft and reC7+solved
Clean of slate and reCleased
I wanna forGgive for the both of Dsus4


Like an abandoned house
Dusty covered
Furniture
Still intact

If I visit it now
Do I simply re-live it
Somehow
gratuitous


But who's still aching now?
Who's tired of her own voice?
Who is it weighing down
With no gift from time of said healing


I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that's grown old
All this time I've not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us

Maybe as C7+I cut the Ccord
Dsus4Veils will lift from my Ceyes
Maybe as C7+I lay this to Crest
Dead Asus2weight off my Cshoulders will Grise

Here I sit
Much determined
Ever ill-equipped
To draw this curtain

How this has entertained
Validated
And has served me well
Ever the victim

But who's done whining now?
Who's ready to put down
This load I've carried longer
than I had cared to remember


I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that's grown old
For this life of me I've not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us (x2)
