[00:00.30]
[00:03.38] To say that I'm a man undone
[00:10.18] Is understatement at its worst
[00:16.35] I was completely incapacitated
[00:20.20] By your southern charm
[00:23.69] It hit me like an ancient gypsy curse
[00:30.22] But this instrument you use with such precision--
[00:37.41] It's like a concrete wall
[00:39.41] A thousand meters tall
[00:44.36] And I've tried to climb its icy walls a million times
[00:51.44] But I simply cannot find inside of me
[00:56.69] The requisite resolve
[01:02.17]
[01:05.97] Your silence is a weapon
[01:09.26] It's like a nuclear bomb
[01:12.75] It's like the Agent Orange
[01:15.20] They used to use in Vietnam
[01:19.20] And it's accompanied by an apathy
[01:23.18] That's deafening to the ears
[01:25.93] You know it is complete and perfect
[01:29.62] And you wield it without fear
[01:36.11]
[02:34.37] It isn't complicated; you just don't care
[02:41.06] You attack me by not saying anything
[02:48.30] You say that you don't bring your anger to me
[02:55.35] But it poisons every fiber of your being
[03:02.03] Now you started something that you cannot finish
[03:09.06] And left me standing in the wreckage on my own
[03:16.21] And the only thing that brings me any comfort
[03:22.84] Is the knowledge that, no matter who you're with
[03:28.74] You'll always be alone
[03:33.39]
[03:37.47] Your silence is a weapon
[03:41.01] It's like a nuclear bomb
[03:44.40] It's like the Agent Orange
[03:46.94] They used to use in Vietnam
[03:51.08] And it's accompanied by an apathy
[03:55.02] That's deafening to the ears
[03:57.62] You know it is complete and perfect
[04:01.22] And you wield it without fear
[04:08.10]
[04:09.25] Your silence is a weapon
[04:12.55] It's like a nuclear bomb
[04:16.05] It's like the Agent Orange
[04:18.59] They used to use in Vietnam
[04:22.68] And it's accompanied by an apathy
[04:26.73] That's deafening to the ears
[04:29.32] You know it is complete and perfect
[04:32.93] And you wield it without fear
[04:40.00]
