Achilles Come Down
(专辑: Go Farther In Lightness - 2017)
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? [French language sample] 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 [French language sample] 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 [French language sample] 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 yourself on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the
soul Chiming away for a
moment Feel your breath course frankly below And 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 [French language sample] 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, my opinion you've got (No one asked your opinion) You asked for my counsel, I
gave you my thoughts (No one asked for your thoughts) Be done with this now and jump off the
roof (Be done with this now and get 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 Achilles, come down [French language sample] 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
