Achilles_Come_Down_by_Gang_of_Youths

[00:08.19] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:11.27] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:15.94] You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you

[00:19.92] Achilles, it's not much but there's proof

[00:23.91] You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue

[00:27.89] Redemption lies plainly in truth

[00:31.80] Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:35.51] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:55.70] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:59.15] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:03.94] The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken

[01:07.92] Remember the pact of our youth

[01:11.90] Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping

[01:15.62] Since there is no me without you

[01:19.87] Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[01:23.33] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:28.11] Loathe the way they light candles in Rome

[01:31.83] But love the sweet air of the votives

[01:35.81] Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone

[01:40.06] Engage with the pain as a motive

[01:44.04] Today, of all days, see

[01:49.89] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[01:58.13] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[02:13.98] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now

[02:17.44] You are absent of cause or excuse

[02:21.95] So self-indulgent and self-referential

[02:25.94] No audience could ever want you

[02:29.66] You crave the applause yet hate the attention

[02:33.64] Then miss it, your act is a ruse

[02:37.89] It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now

[02:41.88] It's a pointless resistance for you

[03:01.80] Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle

[03:05.78] Don't listen to what you've consumed

[03:09.77] It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy

[03:13.75] Of feeding and it's wholly untrue

[03:17.74] You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing

[03:21.99] It's all just conjecture and gloom

[03:25.70] And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it

[03:29.95] Do not waste yourself on this roof

[03:33.94] Hear those bells ring deep in the soul

[03:38.19] Chiming away for a moment

[03:42.17] Feel your breath course frankly below

[03:45.89] And see life as a worthy opponent

[03:50.14] Today, of all days, see

[03:55.98] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[04:03.95] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[04:12.19] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[04:19.80] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

[04:32.28] You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles)

[04:36.11] More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles)

[04:39.19] But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)

[04:43.99] You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)

[04:48.13] You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion)

[04:51.86] You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts)

[04:55.84] Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof)

[04:59.71] Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

[05:06.88] I'm talking to you

[05:10.86] I'm talking to you

[05:15.38] I'm talking to you

[05:19.37] Achilles, come down

[05:23.75] Achilles, come down

[06:04.13] Throw yourself into the unknown

[06:07.90] With pace and a fury defiant

[06:11.92] Clothe yourself in beauty untold

[06:15.94] And see life as a means to a triumph

[06:19.96] Today, of all days, see

[06:26.24] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[06:34.02] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[06:42.06] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[06:50.11] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
