So self-indulg

It is empty, A

            
chilles, so en

[Verse 4]
           
Achilles, Achi

             
lles, just put

          
 down the bott

le
            
Don’t listen t

             
o what you’ve 

    
consumed
            
It’s chaos, co

            
nfusion, and w

        
holly unworthy
            
Of feeling and

             
 it’s wholly u

 
ntrue
            
You may feel n

             
o purpose nor 

             
a point for ex


isting
            
It’s all just 

             
conjecture and

  
 gloom
            
There may not 

             
be meaning, so

             
 find one and 

 
seize it
            
Do not waste y

             
ourself on thi


s roof


[Pre-Chorus]
           
Hear those bel

             
ls ring deep i

      
n the soul
           
Chiming away f

     
or a moment
           
Feel your brea

             
th course fran

      
kly below
            
See life as a 

        
worthy opponen

[Chorus]
           
Today of all d

     
ays, see

How you will h

             
eal and you’ll

Crowned by an 

            
overture bold 

    
and beyond
            
Ah, it’s more

You asked for
