[Cm] Achilles, [Gm] Achilles, [Cm] just put down [Gm] the bottle, [Cm]
don't listen [Gm] to what you've [Cm] consumed
[Gm] It's [Cm] chaos, [Dm] confusion, [Ab] and wholly [Bb] unworthy [Cm] of feeding, [Bb] and it's wholly [Cm] untrue
[Bb]
[Cm] You may feel [Gm] no purpose [Cm] nor a point for [Gm] existing, [Cm] it's all just [Gm] conjecture and [Cm] [Gm] gloom
[Cm] That may not [Bb] be needed, [Ab] so find one [Bb] and seize it, [Cm] do not waste [Bb] yourself on [Cm] this room

[Gm]
[Cm] Feel your [Bb] breath [Cm] corpse frankly [Bb] below,
[Cm] see life [Bb] is a worthy
[Ab] opponent
[Abm] The day of [Bb] all day aches, [Cm] see
[G] How the [Ab] most dangerous [Bb] things [Eb] still lie
[G] How [Ab] you heal when [Bb] you [Eb] rise above
[G] Crowned [Ab] by an oath that [Bb] you've [Eb] broken beyond
[G] Rise [Ab] more courageous [Bb] to overcome
[Gm] [Cm]
You want the acclaim, the motherhood of a small toilet, the fame, or the taste?
Don't listen, [Eb]
be willing, just jump, you dense motherfucker, you ought to [F] be more than a rat
So much [Eb] more than a rat, you want my opinion, but when you've gotten it
[F] You ask for my [Cm] account, someone ask for your thoughts
[Eb] Be done with this now and jump off the roof, [Cm] can you hear me Achilles?
I'm talking [Eb] to you, I'm talking [Cm] to you
I'm talking [Ab] to you, I'm talking [G] to you
Achilles come [Ab]

[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Cm]
[Eb] But [Cm] we have to do the part of those who, without conclusion, always [G] question, and [Cm] rarely question
This is the [Eb] majority
I also see that [Cm] those who answer no, act [Bb] as if to force the yes
[G] Do [Cm] you?
Throw yourself into the [Bb] unknown [Cm] with pace and a [Bb] fury
[Ab] defiant
[Bb]
[Cm] Clothe [Bb] yourself [Cm] in beauty [Bb] untold [Cm] and see life as [Bb] a means [Ab] to a triumph
[Abm] Today the [Gm] four days
[Ab] speak
[G] How [Ab] the most dangerous [Bb] things [Eb] to love
[G] How [Ab] you heal when [Bb] you [Eb] rise above
[G] Crowned [Ab] by an [Bb] overture [Eb] born in the arms
[G] Words
[Ab] more courageous [Gm] to [Eb] overcome
