45 Songtext
von Shinedown

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 doin′ 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

And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimmin′ through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Starin′ 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"


Whatever happened to the young man′s heart?
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm starin′ down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimmin' through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Starin′ down the barrel of a .45

Everyone's pointin' their fingers
Always condemnin′ me
Nobody knows what I believe
I believe

And I′m starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45)
Swimmin′ through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Starin' down the barrel of a .45

And I′m starin' down the barrel of a .45 (whoa)
And I′m swimmin' through the ashes of another life (whoa)
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed (whoa)
Starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45)

.45
Starin′ down the barrel of a .45
