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, 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, Achilles, 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

Achilles, Achilles, 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
