Intro

Verse 1

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.

Whatever happened to the young man's heart.

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

Chorus

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.

Instrumental break

Verse 2

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

Whatever happened to the young man's heart.

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

Chorus

Bridge

 Everyone's pointing their fingers

 Always condemning me

 Nobody knows what

 I believe

 I believe

Chorus
