origami roses Lyrics by Kevin Atwater

Achilles

2025

[Verse 1]
\nHe was standing in the hallway with a notebook after band
\nHad my name on the pages and in cursive on one hand
\nHis brother was in the army, his mother was never home
\nHe would walk down our street and watch my family from our porch
\nHe used to change his name every couple weeks online
\nAlways biblically important, "Job" to "Isaac" to "Elijah"
\nNever spoke to me in person, always talking through a friend
\nWho'd follow up with a warning: "Don't do something you'll regret”
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHe would leave me little origami roses
\nBlooming at our door
\nI'd carry them like sleeping babies to my room
\nAnd keep thеm quiet in my drawer
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nHe usеd to draw us naked with him kissing me in bed
\nWasn't used to the attention from a boy in my life then
\nSo I messaged him in panic "Could you please leave me alone?"
\nBut all the while kept it quiet, didn't let anyone know
\nBut it escalated quickly, he would follow all my friends
\nTaking pictures of my family, scratching out their eyes in pen
\nIt came at the dinner table, sent me something like a threat
\n"I will take what I am able, I will take what I can get"
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHe would leave me little origami roses
\nBlooming at our door
\nI'd carry them like sleeping babies
\nTo our school for his file in the drawer\n\n
