John Grant - Vietnam

To say that I'm a man undone
Is understatement at its worst
I was completely incapacitated
By your southern charm
It hit me like an ancient
gypsy curse
But this instrument you
use with such precision
It's like a concrete wall
a thousand meters tall
And I've tried to climb
its icy walls a million times
But I simply cannot find inside of me
The requisite resolve
Your silence is a weapon
It's like a nuclear bomb
It's like the Agent
Orange they used
To use in Vietnam
And it's accompanied by an apathy
That's deafening to the ears
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fear
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 finish
And left me standing
in the wreckage on my own
And the only thing that
brings me any comfort
Is the knowledge 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 Agent Orange they used
To use in Vietnam
And it's accompanied by an apathy
That's deafening to the ears
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fear
Your silence is a weapon
It's like a nuclear bomb
It's like the Agent Orange they used
To use in Vietnam
And it's accompanied by an apathy
That's deafening to the ears
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fear
