AchilCmles, AchDmilles, AchCmilles, jump nBbow
You are aCmbsent of cBbause or exCmcuse Bb
SCmo self-indulgBbent and sAbelf-referBbential

You cCmrave the aGmpplause yet Cmhate the atBbtention
Then mCmiss it, your Bbact is a Cmruse Bb
It is eCmmpty, AcBbhilles, so eAbnd it all Bbnow
It's a pCmointless rBbesistance for Abyou Bb

AcCmhilles, ADmchilles, just Cmput down the Gmbottle
Don’t lCmisten to wBbhat you’ve cCmonsumed Gm
It’s cCmhaos, conBbfusion and wEbholly unwoBbrthy
Of fCmeeding and it’s wBbholly untCmrue Bb
You mCmay feel no puDmrpose nor a pCmoint for exBbisting
It’s Cmall just cBbonjecture and gCmloom Bb
And there Cmmay not be mBbeaning, so fAbind one and seBbize it
Do Cmnot waste yoBburself on this rCmoof Bb
[Pre-Chorus]
HCmear those bBbells ring dCmeep in the sBboul

CmFeel your Bbbreath course fCmrankly beBblow
And Cmsee life as aBb worthy oppAbonent

[Verse 5]
You wBbant the acEbclaim, the mother of mothers
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)
More pBboignant thaCmn fame or the taste of another
(Don’t listen, Achilles)
But be reBbal and just juCmmp, you dense motherf____r
(You’re worth more, Achilles)
You wiBbll not be moCmre than a rat in the gutter
(So much more than a rat)
You wEbant my opiCmnion, my opiEbnion you’ve Ebgot
(No one asked your opinion)
You aCmsked for my coCmunsel, I gCmave you my thCmoughts
(No one asked for your thoughts)
Be dEbone with this nEbow and jEbump off the rEboof
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you heFar me, ACmchilles? I’m FtalkFing to you Eb Eb Eb
