Lyrics to Achilles Heel by Kevin McClain

Verse 1

When I’m sitting all alone in my room, I’m often bored… and I can’t figure it out.

What to do is all up to you, climbing that tree is hard to do, but I can help you down.

Take my hand or take a stand, move on up to another branch, just don’t fall to the ground.

Don’t fall to the ground… Don’t fall to the ground… Don’t fall to the ground…

Verse 2

I see your smile stretch both ends of the Earth, fire and rubble, waters and turf.

My walls are crumbling into rocks that are course. There is no need for your Trojan Horse, I just let you in.

You send your armies all up through my walls, rape and pillage, the girth and froth,

while standing in a, Achilles shoes, Achilles shoes, Achilles shoes…..

Verse III

Standing Tall River Cities of shields, crashed and burned, now broken hearts of Steel.

Filthy Cranium of ash and soot. Don’t undermine the line when Frankenstein’s at foot. He’s got life to wield.

Beaten, blundered, bleeding, blood-stained fields, chain down soles of lifeless life to steal.

I found your Achilles heel…. Achilles heel… Achilles heel

Verse IV

I’ve been running for you trying to keep up pace with the times, but I can’t stop to read.

All these headlines I’ve been running for you,

tip your hat shake my hand, say “howdidy do”

love his shaking my existence of fate. I can’t seem to keep it all on my plate. How about you? How about you? How about you?
