Karaoké 45 Shinedown

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 by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty five

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a forty five

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 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 forty five

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a forty five

Everyone's pointing their fingers always condemning me

Nobody knows what I believe

I believe

And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty five

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a forty five...

And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty five

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 of a forty five

Staring down the barrel forty five
