Song lyrics

Send ".45" ringtones to your cell

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

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high upon a 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

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

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

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45 (.45)
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a .45

5 posts	SimiaN, I feel ya. And it makes me think, maybe people should think of things like this before they complain about songs like this being on the radio. Shinedown is a very talented band with powerful music, why prevent music from reaching people who not only like it but it helps them a bit

61 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song has soul. It's almost like licorace or dark chocolate, a tad bitter and not for everyone, but quite delicious to those who like it. It's dark enough to be a titch depressing (that's a good thing) and deep enough to make you ponder (also good), and it's beautiful enough to make me almost cry. Excellent song.
