45 Lyrics by Shinedown
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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, 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

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]
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, 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      [CHORUS]      Everyone's pointing their fingers   Always condemning me   And nobody knows what I believe   I believe      [CHORUS]
