So self-indulg

Achilles, Achi

           
lles, just put

Don’t listen t

          
o what you’ve 

       
consumed
            
It’s chaos, co

           
nfusion and wh

/     
olly unworthy
            
Of feeding 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
            
And 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

Feel your brea

And see life a
