Achilles in an Apartment

Hey there, Achilles
Why'd you have to bite off my head
Drag me through school, and put a tie around my neck?
I was perfectly happy to make another dime
Find a lovin' lover, and make it home for bedtime
Why would you accuse me, and take away my booze and my friends?
Though you're willing to die early
Some means just ain't worth their ends

Hector assures me
That I'm trying to do what's right
Stumbling around in the dark, just to find a light
He's got me shut in a flat where I'm trying to forget
That time is a-callin' my phone again
Weaving me a web when I ain't picking up the thread
I'm staying in to hide from the words that nobody said

So I'm flying to Paris
To find something to quiet my head
Can't take any more of these warmongering psychopaths
Gave you an overdose on dreams, a fistful of fights
A lickin' from Ambition, who knocked out your lights
Now I'm heading back to Raleigh, raising a glass to your flight
Bye now, Achilles, your clock has finally run out of time

I am perfectly happy to make another dime
Find another lover, and make it home to bedtime
Now I'm five thousand feet off the ground
Rapidly approaching the speed of sound
Bye now, Achilles, the hour's finally run out of sand
Not willing to die early cause not everybody's name gets to last
