45 Version) - Shinedown

Send away for a priceless gift

One not subtle one not on the list

Send away for a perfect world

One not simply so absurd

In these times of doing what you're told

You keep these feelings

No one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart

Swallowed by pain

As he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept

The way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf

Left for you no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

Wrapped in guilt sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart

Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept

The way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers

Always condemning me

Nobody knows what I believe

I believe

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept

The way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

And I'm swimming through

The ashes of another life

There is no real reason to accept

The way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45 45

Staring down the barrel of a 45
