Send away for a perfect world
In a box high up on the shelf
I believe
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Left for you, no one else
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Staring down the barrel of a 45, 45
Everyone's pointing their fingers
You keep these feelings, no one knows
Always condemning me
What ever happened to the young man's heart
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Keep your eyes open for a while
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Staring down the barrel of a 45
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
In these times of doing what you're told
Staring down the barrel of a 45
One not simply, so absurd
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
Nobody knows what I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Swimming through the ashes of another life
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
Staring down the barrel of a 45
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
