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
Am G C Am
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down

No audience could ever want you
Am G C Am
You crave the applause yet hate the attention

It's a pointless resistance for you

Verse 4:
Am G C Am
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Am G C
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
Am G C Am
It’s chaos, confusion, and wholly unworthy
Am Em Am Em
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
Am G C Am
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
Am G C
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
Am G C Am
There may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Am Em Am Em
Do not waste yourself on this roof

Hear those bells ring deep in the soul

Chiming away for a moment

See life as a worthy opponent

Verse 5:

You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
Em Am
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)

More poignant than fame or the taste of another
E C
(Don’t listen, Achilles)
C Em
Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
Em Am
(You’re worth more, Achilles)
Am E
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter

You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
