jailer Lyrics by Kevin Atwater

Achilles

2025

[Verse 1]
My boy, covered in red
We were flushed in fluorescence, the backseat a bed
When a knock on the window, a flash in our eyes
And an officer happy to ruin our night
I let out a laugh like a shriek or a cry
And you hit me reflexively quick
At the time, I was stunned into silence
We got just a warning
I'm hoping we make it a joke in the mornin’
[Chorus]
You drive to my house
I want us to talk but the quiet's too loud
I try to get naked again in the back
I want you to see, and to want what I have
When you look at me, is that all that I am?
[Verse 2]
My boy, covered in red
From the blood dancing harshly and quick to his head
Through a body that's working three times as hard
To pretend what he’s screaming is straight from the heart
Saying, "Do you think I want that right now?
On the road by your house? Are you kidding me now?"
And you're laughing at me and I don't find it funny
But maybe I'll get it, alone in the morning
[Chorus]
The bed in my house
I try to get off but can't picture you now
The backs of my eyelids are lonely and black
Now all that I see is all that I have
When you think of me, is that all that I am?
[Outro]
A boy covered in blue, putting walls up around him
A jailer confused, casting off all new strangers
Alone at the table, saying, "No one can hurt me if nobody's able"
