It's almost like i'm swimming in place My hand goes out to cover my face I've seen myself, i know i'm here I've walked these streets alone in fear Everyone else just doesn't seem real Seems i'm not in touch with how i feel The bullets pass bye as i duck my head I look to the ground, another soldier dead I'm back at home and they know where i've been But they have no idea just what i've seen I can't relate so i just sit and stare There's no place for me, not here or there A car door slams and i fall to the floor My buddies laugh and ask for more They want to hear about my crimes How many people i killed during my time They have no idea just who i am They think i'm cool, such a man But nothing at all feels real to me They have no idea just what I've seen I'm swimming in place and drowning in fear I can't afford to shed a single tear Don't look at me, don't try and speak If i open up you'll know i'm weak My hand goes out and i touch her skin Can't feel a thing, outside or in She want's to know just what is wrong I show no smile, it's been to long I bury my head and close my eyes This shallow face is my disguise She walks away and slams the door Hollers back "I Can't Take No More" Alone again i hear the attack I've traveled down to hell and back You have no idea just what I've seen And i won't tell, i'll keep this clean These dirty secrets, they're mine to keep They steal my soul and kill my sleep What happened there i'll never tell But i'll tell you this "War is Hell" |

You have captured the true thoughts of a soldier who has return from a war. My buddy returned from Vietnam after fighting on the MaKong Delta for three years and stayed in his bedroom for nine months before he came out in the sun. While in that room he rebuilt a flathead V-8 Ford motor for his 1933 Plymouth Roadster and when we took it out we couldn't go thru the door, instead we removed the window and lifted it out that way. We had a ball running around in the car all that summer of 1968. AL AL Inmon |
