Achilles Come Down

Achilles
 Achilles
 Achilles come down, won't you
 Get up off
 Get up off the roof?
 You're scaring us
 And all of us
 Some of us love you
 Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
 You crazy assed cosmonaut
 Remember your virtue
 Redemption lies plainly in truth
 Just humour us
 Achilles
 Achilles come down
 Won't you get up off
 Get up off the roof

 Achilles
 Achilles come down, won't you
 Get up off
 Get up off the roof?
 The self is not so weightless
 Nor whole and unbroken
 Remember the pact of our youth
 Where you go
 I'm going
 So jump and I'm jumping
 Since there is no me without you
 Soldier on
 Achilles
 Achilles come down
 Won't you get up off
 Get up off the roof?
 Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
 But love the sweet air of the votives
 Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
 Engage with the pain as a motive
 Today of all days
 See
 How the most dangerous thing is to love
 How you will heal and you'll rise above

 Achilles
 Jump now
 You are absent of cause
 Or excuse
 So self-indulgent
 And self-referential
 No audience could ever want you
 You crave the applause
 Yet hate the attention
 Then miss it, your act is a ruse
 It is empty, Achilles
 So end it all now
 It's a pointless resistance
 For you

 Just put down the bottle
 Don't listen to what you've consumed
 It's chaos, confusion
 And wholly unworthy
 Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
 You may feel no purpose
 Nor a point for existing
 It's all just conjecture and gloom
 And there may not be meaning
 So find one and seize it
 Do not waste your self on this roof
 Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
 Chiming away for a moment
 Feel your breath course frankly below
 See life as a worthy opponent
 Today of all days
 See
 How the most dangerous thing is to love
 How you will heal and you'll rise above
 Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
 Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
 ♪
 You want the acclaim
 The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles)
 More poignant than fame
 Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles)
 But be real and just jump
 You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)
 You will not be more
 Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)
 You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion)
 My opinion you've got
 You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts)
 I gave you my thoughts
 Be done with this now
 And jump off the roof
 Can you hear me Achilles?
 I'm talking to you
 I'm talking to you
 I'm talking to you
 I'm talking to you
 Achilles come down

 Throw yourself into the unknown
 With pace and a fury defiant
 Clothe yourself in beauty untold
 And see life as a means to a triumph
 Today of all days
 See
 How the most dangerous thing is to love
 How you will heal and you'll rise above
 Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
 Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
