Shinedown - .45 Acoustic lyrics

rate me

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

'Cause in these times of doing what you're told

Keep these 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

Cuz in a box high upon a shelf

Is left for you, and no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

That's wrapped in guilt, and sealed up tight

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

I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

Cuz everyone's pointing their fingers

Their 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

That 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 is no real reason to accept the way things have changed

Staring down the barrel of a .45

Of a .45

I'm staring down the barrel of a .45
