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
