TW: sad shit? Swearing.
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
Texas, he was probably one of the most affected by the loss of California, and nobody to keep him in check.
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
He picked up on some pretty bad habits, such as drinking late into the night, smoking and he was more aggressive.
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
He always said he didn't care about the nation-state but here he was, drinking his sorrows out on the roof, it was peaceful at night.
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
He had a pack of cigarettes to his right and a lighter to his left with the alcohol bottles, he knew it wasn't healthy but he didn't care.
Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent
Parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue
He fought for his independence and it still didn't fix him, he was still a mess easily fucked with, he knew how bad it was.
J'en vois d'autres, qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées
He knew he shouldn't be getting drunk over his so-called 'enemies' death, but he didn't hate him quite the opposite actually.
Pour des illusions, qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre
He loved him, sure they rarely ever saw eye-to-eye but he still loved him.
Ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir
He knew more about the golden state than he knew about himself, he paid all his attention to him.
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
He would always argue after all they were exact opposites of each other. But people say, 'opposites attract.
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
He put down the bottle after finishing it and picked up a cigarette, lighting it after raising it to his lips.
Remember the pact of our youth
He and Cali had been friends from before the war but after the war when California joined the union and he does the Confederacy...
Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
They had never seen eye-to-eye since, but even so, whenever the others poked fun at him, he felt terrible.
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
They would hang out in the flower fields that California was so well known for.
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Sometimes they would go to the ranch and California would help out with the animals.
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
No matter what they were doing they always seemed to have fun, no matter how bruised or scraped they would get.
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
