45 - Acoustic

Send away for a priceless gift
 One not subtle, one not on the list
 And send away for a perfect world
 One not simply so absurd
 'Cause in these times of doing what you're told
 You keep feelings, no one knows
 So what ever happened to the young man's heart
 It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
 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
 Send a message to the unborn child
 To keep your eyes open for a while
 'Cause in a box high up on the shelf
 It's left for you, no one else
 There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
 It's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight
 So whatever happened, yeah, to the young man's heart
 It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
 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
 I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
 'Cause everyone's pointing their fingers
 They're always condemning me
 Well, nobody knows what I believe
 What I believe
 And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
 I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
 But 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's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
 Staring down the barrel of, yeah, of a 45
 Yeah, of a 45
 I am staring down the barrel of a 45
