[This is a song about talking someone off the ledge. The evil voice is in light. The friend's voice in bold. I think the song can fit different situations and seemed perfect for this chapter.]
"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 a--ed 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
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
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, 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
