45

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 your told
Keep these feelings no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Swallow that pain as he slowly fell apart
And I am staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ices 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
Get a box high upon the shelf
Left for you, no one else
There is piece of a puzzle known as life
wrapped in bows and silver ties
What ever happened to the old man's heart
Swallowed that pain as he slowly fell apart
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
I am swimming through the ashes of another life
