Lyrics
Vietnam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just say that I'm the man under
'Cause understatement at its worst
I was completely incapacitated
By your southern charm
It hit me like an ancient gipsy curse
But this instrument used was such precision
It's like a concrete wall
A thousand meters tall
And I'm trying to climb the dicy walls a million times
But I simply cannot find inside of me
The requisite press on
Your silence is a weapon
It's like a nuclear bomb
It's like the age and orangely used
To use in vietnam
It's a company by an apathy
It's deafening through the years
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fears
It isn't complicated you just don't care
You attack me by not saying anything
You say that you don't bring your anger to me
But it poisons every fiber of your being
Now you started something that you cannot fetch
And left us standing in the wreckage of my own
And the one thing that brings me in the comfort
Is the knowledge is that no matter who you're with
You'll always be alone
Your silence is a weapon
It's like a nuclear bomb
It's like the age and orangely used
To use in vietnam
It's a company by an apathy
It's deafening through the years
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fears
