45 - Live from Washington State

Lyrics

[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 In these times of doing what you're told Keep these feelings, no one knows [Pre-Chorus] Whatever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Whatever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 'Cause everyone's pointing their fingers They're always condemning me And nobody knows what I believe What I believe [Chorus] 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, they changed And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45 And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life 'Cause there is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down, down a .45 [Outro] Stop there, stop there, stop there, down a .45 Don't stare, don't stare, don't stare, down a .45 Don't stare, don't stare, don't stare, down a .45 Starin', starin', starin', down a .45
