45 (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Intro] 1,2,3,4 [Verse 1] 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 Cause in these times of doing what you're told You keep these feelings, that no one knows [Pre-Chorus] So whatever happened to the young man's heart? It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 I'm swimming through the ashes of another life There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a .45 [Verse 2] Send a message to the unborn child To keep your eyes open for a while 'Cause in a box high up on the shelf That's left for you and no one else There's a piece of a puzzle known as life It's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight [Pre-Chorus] So whatever happened to the young man's heart? It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 I'm swimming through the ashes of another life There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a .45 [Bridge] 'Cause everyone's pointing their fingers You're always condemning me Well, nobody knows what I believe What I believe [Chorus] And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 I'm swimming through the ashes of another life With no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel 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, yeah, of a .45 [Outro] Yeah, of a .45 I'm staring down the barrel of a .45
