Intro

Fourteen years

Thirty minutes

Fifteen seconds I've

Held this grudge

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

But who's it hurting now?

Who's the one that's stuck?

Who's it torturing now

With an antique knot in her stomach?

Chorus

 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

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

Chorus

 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 I cut the cord

Veils will lift from my eyes

 Maybe as I lay this to rest

 Dead weight off my shoulders will rise

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

Chorus

 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)
