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
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, meant 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
And 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
And theres' no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

45
45
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Hey guys its about how he used to be a pure genuine good person when he was young. Now he makes bad decisions. He wants to kill himself now to become what he once was. Word bitches enjoy the insight.

Gotta love this song, even though this is the first time I've ever heard it. I heard bits and pieces of it on the radio coming home from school, and just thought it was cool-sounding enough to search up.
