Nor whole and unbroken

Remember the pact of our youth
Cm

■  Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
         Cm                          
But love the sweet air of the votives
         Gm7                     Bb   
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Cm              Bb               Ab
Engage with the pain as a motive ■

Achilles Achilles


[Verse]
Cm               
Achilles Jump now
        Bb             
You are absent of cause
   Cm    
Or excuse
Bb              
So selfindulgent
    Ab             
And selfreferential
Cm                Bb           
No audience could ever want you
Cm  Bb                
You crave the applause


[Chorus]
    Cm                
Yet hate the attention
     Bb                    Cm  
Then miss it your act is a ruse
   Bb               
It is empty Achilles
Ab               
So end it all now
Cm               Bb         Cm
It's a pointless resistance ■ 
Cm     
For you
Cm               
Achilles Achilles


[Verse]
                  Cm    
Just put down the bottle
      Cm                            
Don't listen to what you've consumed
           Bb       
It's chaos confusion
           Cm      
And wholly unworthy
               Bb                
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
Cm              G         
■  You may feel no purpose
                Bb      
Nor a point for existing
Cm                           Bb   
It's all just conjecture and gloom
Cm            Bb            
And there may not be meaning
        Bb              
So find one and seize it
       Cm7                     Bb  
Do not waste your self on this roof
Cm                         Bb         
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Cm                 Bb    
Chiming away for a moment


[Chorus]
Cm                         Bb           
■  Feel your breath course frankly below
Cm                   Ab      
See life as a worthy opponent
         Gm7     
Today of all days
Abmaj7 G   G7  Ab                         Eb  
See    How the most dangerous thing is to love
G       Ab        Eb  G Ab          Eb   
How you will heal and ■ you'll rise above


[Bridge]
G Ab         Eb                         
■ Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
        Cm7  Gm7                   
Ah it's more courageous to overcome
    Eb              
You want the acclaim


[Verse]
Eb                   
The mother of mothers
Bb            Gm7      
More poignant than fame
                Gm7    
Or the taste of another
Eb                       
But be real and just jump
Eb                    
You dense motherfucker
         Gm7        
You will not be more
                  Gm7   
Than a rat in the gutter


[Chorus]
Eb                 
You want my opinion
Eb                   
My opinion you've got
Csus4         Cm7       
You asked for my counsel
Cm7                   
I gave you my thoughts
Eb                   
Be done with this now
Eb                   
And jump off the roof
Cm7                     
Can you hear me Achilles
Cm          Eb    
I'm talking to you
    Cm7        Csus4
I'm talking to you  
    Ab            
I'm talking to you
    Ab            
I'm talking to you
Ab                
Achilles come down
         Ab       
Achilles come down

Throw yourself into the unknown

With pace and a fury defiant
Bb Cm                 Bb           
■  Clothe yourself in beauty untold
