45- 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 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 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
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
What ever happened to the young man’s heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
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
Everyone’s pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe
And I’m staring down the barrel of a 45,
And I’m swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
And I’m staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Bullet- Hollywood Undead
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of a bottle is my only friend
I think I’ll slit my wrists again and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn’t work again
I’ll put a bullet in my head and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone too far yea I’m gone again
It’s gone on too long tell you how it ends
I’m sitting on the edge with my two best friends
One’s a bottle of pills and one’s a bottle of gin.
I’m twenty stories up, yea up at the top
I’ve polished off this bottle now it’s pushin’ me off
Asphalt to me has never looked so soft
I bet my momma found my letter now she’s calling the cops
I’ve gotta take this opportunity before I miss it
‘Cause now I hear the sirens and they’re off in the distance
Believe me when I tell you that I’ve been persistent
‘Cause I’m more scarred, more scarred then my wrist is
I’ve been trying too long with too dull of a knife
But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice
I never bought a suit before in my life
But when you go to meet God you know you wanna look nice
(Chorus)
So if I survive then I’ll see you tomorrow
Yea I’ll see you tomorrow…
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of a bottle is my only friend
I think I’ll slit my wrists again and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn’t work again
I’ll put a bullet in my head and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
We hit the sky, there goes the light
No more sun why’s it always night
When you can’t sleep well you can’t dream
When you can’t dream well what’s life mean?
We feel a little pity but don’t empathize
The old are getting old, watch a young man die
A mother and her son and someone you know
Smile at each other and realize you don’t
You don’t know what happened to that kid you raised
What happened to that father, who swore he’d stay
I didn’t know ’cause you didn’t say
Now momma feels guilt, yea momma feels pain
When you were young you never thought you’d die
Found that you could but too scared to try
Looked in the mirror and you said goodbye
Climbed to the roof to see you if could fly
(Chorus)
So if I survive then I’ll see you tomorrow
Yea, I’ll see you tomorrow…
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of a bottle is my only friend
I think I’ll slit my wrists again and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn’t work again
I’ll put a bullet in my head and I’m
Gone, gone, gone, gone
I wish that I could fly
Way up in the sky
Like a bird so high
Oh I might just try
I wish that I could fly
Way up in the sky
Like a bird so high
Oh I might just try
Oh I might just try
