⚠ WARNING!: cursing, dark tones, religious talk ⚠
i stand on the rooftop, mother doesn't care, father left, so did my friends, no one cares about me not even myself, my name doesn't matter it may be Greek but it should be forgotten.
another step forwards and i feel calm knowing that im the cause of my own death.
"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!" a voice deep and full of worry says a voice said with love
"You crazy assed cosmonaut, Remember your virtue, Redemption lies plainly in truth"
i go wide eyed 'i didnt know angles could curse?!'
"Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof!?" they say i sigh and smile
"alright"
........ again?!
i step on again this seems like a game going back to the same checkpoint now, mother told me about this. she didnt care about me but damn me taught me some good lessons.
"Achilles, Achilles, Achilles come down, won't you, Get up off, Get up off the roof?" them again?
"WONT YOU LET ME DO WHAT I WANT?!" i yell not moving but sobbing knowing i cant do this if someone cares about me
"The self is not so weightless Nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth"
"i remember i didnt follow so it doesnt matter anymore.." i choke on my words after
because them!
"Where you go I'm going So jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you" i feel a hand on my shoulder.....they care
"Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof?" those words again, those sweet words
"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" i feel their love
i get off the roof again and smile
............ AGAIN
i step on knowing they will come they always do
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles," yes! they came!
"Jump now, You are absent of cause, Or excuse"
"w-what? dont you love me?"
So self-indulgent, And self-referential, No audience could ever want you" i start to cry
"YOUR NOT MY ANGLE!!"
"You crave the applause, Yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse"
"WHERE ARE THEY I DONT WANT YOU DEVIL!!"
"It is empty, Achilles So end it all now It's a pointless resistance
For you"
maybe i should?
no........
out of spite and hate
i wont!
..........another time again but its different
i slump down moms out and i found her booze
"Achilles, Achilles, Just put down the bottle, Don't listen to what you've consumed!"
you here not there?
"It's chaos, confusion And wholly unworthy Of feeding and it's wholly untrue"
i dont
"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 your self on this roof"
understand
"Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below See life as a worthy opponent"
i understand
"Today of all days, See"
there is a devil and angle
"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"
and i almost listened to the wrong one
.........
.....one last time
i step on for the final time
this day
i dont care i wont listen to anyone
im jumping!!
"You want the acclaim, The mother of mothers" the angle! i see him!
"it's not worth it Achilles!" the devil...what?
"More poignant than fame Or the taste of another"
"don't listen Achilles!"
what no this is wrong!
"But be real and just jump You dense motherfucker"
"you're worth more, Achilles"
"Y-YOURE SUPOSED TO BE HOLY!" i yell its all wrong!!
"You will not be more Than a rat in the gutter"
"so much more than a rat"
"You want my opinion?"
"no one asked your opinion"
"My opinion you've got"
i spin to the angle and devil
"You asked for my counsel"
"no one asked for your thoughts!"
"I gave you my thoughts"
dont mix together i cant take that
"Be done with this now" THEY- NO!
"And jump off the roof"
"AND GET OFF THE ROOF!"
STOP! PLEASE!
"Can you hear me Achilles? I'm talking to you" they both hold out there hands, but i know who i need to love
i face the "devil" i call with such venom, and hold his hand
"I'm talking to you, I'm talking to you!" they cry in joy
"I'm talking to you" they hold my face and i know i chose the right choice i am safe
"Achilles come down, Achilles come down"
"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"
"so Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, won't you, Get up off, Get up off the roof?"
"i will, and it will be the last time i ever get off the roof!" i cry in joy for once
