Shinedown 45 Lyrics

45 Lyrics

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

What ever happened
to the young man's heart
Swallowed my pain as he slowly fell
apart

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming
through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept
the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

Send a
message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high
upon a shelf
Left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known
as life
Wrapped in guilt, sewn up tight

What ever happened to the
young man's heart
Swallowed my pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm
staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of
another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have
changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

Everyone's pointing their
fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
I
believe

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming
through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept
the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

And I'm
staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
And I'm swimming through the ashes of
another life (another life)
There is no real reason to accept the way things
have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45
